June 12: Last week, at almost 22 weeks, we had another check up with our fetal medicine specialist. We got a nice picture of baby’s little face, the first we’ve gotten since all this began. We were relieved to hear that she is growing as she should be. Nothing regarding her condition has changed or worsened as far as our doctor can tell. We are still on track to leave on June 21st for Houston. Our prayers now are:
- Safe and healthy travel. Specifically that Aubri will remain free from COVID as that could prohibit the possibility of the fetal surgery.
- Our children while we are gone, especially our youngest two, they will all miss us.
- That the tests have favorable results and the surgery will be approved.
- If it’s not approved that we will be emotionally prepared for the challenges that will come next for our daughter.
- That the surgery would be successful for all of us and the low risk of early labor will not be a problem.
So pleased to hear that you new little girl is growing well! Those teeny toes and fingers get me every time – even on a sonogram.
We’ll be praying as you head to Austin next week.
Prayers and peace,
Lea
Thanks be to God she is growing well. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
God be with you during your time in Houston and with the kiddos at home.
