I’m FREE! I was finally released from the hospital today! But not before I ate my last Pollman’s cookie (Thanks, Catherine!).
And I finally saw my fetal specialist…My doctor came in with the ultrasound tech to check on my fluid levels. My fluid levels look “normal” (i.e. back to a decent/high range). And then she tells me why I was there [why, oh why, can’t they just tell you up front…???]. Apparently, fluid was noticed around the baby’s heart on Friday…And that can lead to heart failure if not monitored very closely. The fetal specialist said that there was evidence of a small amount of fluid still surrounding the heart, but she didn’t feel it was necessary to keep me in the hospital because of it. I would see her on Wednesday mid-day sometime for a more detailed diagnostic at her clinic.
Sometime before Wednesday, her nurse would be in contact with UAB to start scheduling appointments for possibly next week. But first, I have a few errands to run and things to do…
Praying for everything to be well on Wednesday!
