Amazingly, Amanda will have made it to 35 weeks on Saturday. That's hard to believe when I think back to the circumstances surrounding the trip to the hospital four and a half weeks ago. Amanda hit the one month anniversary in the hospital this past Tuesday and is getting extremely stir-crazy in her cell. I continue trying to remind both her and the kids that her hospital stay is almost complete and they will get their Mom back although our trips will then be made to a different hospital. As I have mentioned in previous posts, we are so ready to move on to the next challenge but we also would love to isolate the challenges to be solely the heart and not complicate things with any others such as the lungs not being ready.
Everything has continued to hold steady the past few days. BGK's heartrate has been solid and beating primarly in normal rhythm and she continues to grow and progress greatly. We are always relieved to see that the the heart arrythmia has not caused any other negative effects that they can see. Although the doctors wont measure the baby's size any more often than every couple weeks, Amanda talked a tech into taking the measurements and BGK measured 5lb 7 oz. We continue trying to ask the doctors about the timeframes and some will not committ to any dates at all but others have told us that 36 weeks is definitely written in our files and discussed in the meetings. We're definitely hoping that holds true and this upcoming week will be Amanda's final one in that hospital room. We are going to try and push them for more details around those specifics this week.
Thank you all for the support.
