Dates to Remember

Please keep these dates in your prayers--

Tomorrow is Cody's brain surgery!

Wednesday at 10:30 is when the doctor will look at Charlie's internal organs.

We leave for Denver May 30, and Charlie will be born June 1!

Here's an update from Shannon--
At this point we do not know how much Charlie has grown (if any) but we will know on Wednesday. On the bright side we passed our weekly tests. On a personal note he feels very strong and remains active. He now gets the hiccups daily. It is so cute. I think an active baby is a good sign. If he weren’t moving regularly or seemed very weak I would be worried. His is putting his feet in a new place so I hope this means he is growing longer and trying to get comfortable.

The doctor reported that his reaction test (monitors his well-being through his heart rate, reactions to contractions and reactions to his movement) was “terrific”. The doctor was hoping my amniotic fluid index would not decrease. This would indicate the placenta is not functioning as it should. Anything under 8 at 35 weeks would have been cause for early delivery. A normal range is 12-25. I went from 8 to 13. I thought this was great news that I not only stayed steady but I made more. Dr. Volin will continue to monitor us closely but doesn’t think that we need to increase testing to twice a week. He believes we will go full term. He has scheduled our delivery for Friday, June 1 at 7:30 am.

Thanks for praying and caring, bloggerbuddies! I love you!!
