Ultrasound and MRI

Phewww!!!  What a day!!!  Here is a summary of our two appointments:

• The fluid in the abdomen is nearly all gone!!  There is only a small amount left!!  Praise God!!  This is such awesome news, totally unexpected and an answer to prayer!!  Thank you all for continuing to hope and pray for this! :)

• The ultrasound showed the liver still looking about the same as last time.

• The skull did not appear to have the overlapping plates during this sono as it did on the previous two sonos.  Although it COULD mean improvement, it could also just look different because it was a different angle, so the doc wasn't about to make any assumptions about it.

• The MRI technician guessed that the MRI would probably take an hour since babies don't hold completely still.  Well, here is proof that I am NOT making it up when I say Maggie moves like crazy:  the MRI ended up taking TWO AND A HALF HOURS!!!  She just wouldn't stop moving!  Talk about torture...I hope I never have to do that again!!

• The good news is they DID get what they needed...yay!!  I'm hoping to get a call with the results tomorrow.

No matter what we find out tomorrow, we still know this:

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. (Psalm 139:13-16 NIV)

And we still know this:

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28 NIV)

Please continue to pray to the God of miracles for continued improvement for Maggie and good results from the MRI tomorrow.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, (Ephesians 3:20 NIV)
