Fetal Echocardiogram - 05/06/11

I suppose when it rains, it pours...

Today's appointment did not go well. Sweet Sticky's heart is looking bad.  It is enlarged and has fluid completely around it.  With his failing kidneys, his heart is having to work too hard. I will now be seeing the pediatric cardiologist weekly to keep an eye on his heart's progression.  As soon as she sees that his heart is about to fail, we will have to deliver him.  We have no idea when this might be, but most likely sooner than we would want. 

It seems that God needs Sticky more in Heaven than on Earth.
