baby 1st
- heart rate monitor on sunday was ok, still low but with normal 'variations' and 'responsiveness'.
- special scan at St Georges on Monday was good, still low but no heart defects, fetal compromise or block. repeating in 3 weeks to see if 'findings are stable', they didn't believe it was related to my medication as i'm on such a low dose but state that is the only explanation they can find for it.
- scan on tuesday was really a repeat but allowed us to make a plan for the rest of the pregnancy which is; to cancel the growth scans booked, keep appointments booked at St Georges, and for obstetrician, and see the midwife weekly and if heart rate dips lower go in for a trace again. the nice radiographer also gave me a really long scan including a 3D glimpse (it was hiding) and some free pictures
and Josh
on tuesday i got home to a message saying could Josh come up to GOS the next day, it was what we had been waiting for but still after a tiring few days not perfect timing!
- he is off his elemental diet and tube feeding (waiting for confirmation from the dietician) and back to the exclusion diet i.e. no dairy/soya/gluten/egg. As it is now apparant that it is not diet related
- he has blood and stool tests requested and if there is any sign of malabsorption steroids are an option
- he is being referred to the surgical team for possible laproscopy due to the liklihood of some sort of obstructive episode mainly intersuspection which he has pre-disposing factors for (surgery, enlarged lymph nodes, malformation)
- they have also advised we go to our local hospital when he has an 'episode' incase this time it does not resolve itself and that they should do an ultrasound when this occurs to see what is happening (trouble is he nearly always seems to get sick at evenings and weekends when they don't do ultrasound)
i wonder if there is any chnce this can be completed before the baby comes...?
