Meeting with the Neonatologist

Today's ultrasound went well and showed no new information.  We then spoke with a neonatologist from the KU Med NICU.  She explained the things we should expect after Maggie is born and then expanded on multiple scenarios that could play out and what they would entail.  I will not explain those scenarios here because we really won't know anything for sure until she is born.  We will just update everyone on what DOES happen instead of what COULD happen.  What we DO know is that she will be taken to the NICU right away for observation and testing.  She will not get to eat right away until they thoroughly examine her.  Beyond that it branches into a ton of different scenarios and treatments and outcomes depending on their findings.  We are still undecided on which facility we will deliver.  We need to get a little more information before we make a decision.  Overall the neonatologist answered a ton of our questions and prepared us as well as she could under the circumstances.  Please pray that Maggie continues to heal between now and when she is born so she will need minimal or no medical intervention.  Our next ultrasound is next Monday at 1:00.  Thank you all for your continued prayers!!!
