Lately I have been going to the Doctors once a week to have stress test and to make sure Jordyn is still growing. When I went last week they told me that she is growing great. She was just over 5 lbs and the nurse said she had a fat belly and checks, which I am great with. she has not been under any stress but she does not like them messing with her. Ever time they get set to start the test she moves and they have to do it again, or she goes to sleep (which makes her heart rate slow down) so they have to try and wake her up. I love that she is so stubborn and is not even out yet.
We also got to go down to Primary Children's. She is doing amazing. They found an artery that they did not think she had. It does not mean that she is all better, but it gives the Surgeons more to work with. Therefore making the surgery more successful. We know that it is something small but we will take anything at this point to give her a better chance. They also gave me a new due date the 27th at 7:30 is when I will go in to have her, if i don't go into labor before that.
The sad part about the visit was they went into more detail about what she is going to be like after she is out of surgery. The Doctor started by telling us that she will not look like herself and we might not recognizer her. She is going to be really swollen. Then they go on to say that we will not be able to hold her for a few days over ever week, because her chest will be left open until she is stable. The only thing we will be able to do is touch her head and maybe hands. Jordyn will also be kept under so that she can not move. They said it is like her being paralyzed but she might be able to open her eyes.
Finally to add to the hard news they took us to see the CICU. It was the saddest place I have ever been and it took everything in me not to break down right there. It is very quiet because all the babies are under so they were not crying. The babies are all in different rooms and have SO many thing hooked up to them. After seeing that i don't know how i am going to make it.
