Miracles
Just a quick update on my pregnancy. For those of you who know my baby has been collecting fluid around it lungs since the mid of November. Every week the fluid has been slowly but steadily increasing. The doctors felt it would eventually build up by mid or late January to the point it would be putting pressure on the already fragile heart and they would have to deliver him early. And as you can imagine preemie and open heart surgery would not be a fun combo. But after finally getting the courage to ask friends and family to fast and pray for the baby to make it to full term the fluid began stabilizing (even decreased a little over the past two and a half weeks). The doctor asked me yesterday how I pulled off a MIRACLE? I said yes in deed, it was! She said she does not plan on delivering me early anymore (as long as the baby continues to control the fluid build-up). Thanks to all and Happy New Year!

That is such good news, Heidi! Remember, you want or need a break, I'd love to have the kiddos. Cal adores Gage and would love a playdate!
Hey Heidi. Having a heart baby is quite the roller coaster as I'm sure you are learning! What hospital are you using? Who's your perinatalogist? You'll learn so much from this experience, not all good, but you'll find you wouldn't trade it.
Oh, Heidi, that's awesome news! Keep the faith! :)
this IS great news! glad to hear it. we're thinking of and praying for you all.
Okay, that gave me the chills. I'm so happy that things are okay. This baby is going to be one amazing little guy. I love you.
Oh that is the best news I have heard in a long time! Oh hang in there one tough lady.
Heidi, I think about you always and you are one special person. We will continue to pray indeed.
that is excellent news! hope you are all doing well!
