Excellent News
As most of you know this has been an interesting pregnancy to say the least. From the miscarriage at Christmas to getting pregnant a month later. Then having bleeding in the first 5 weeks and being diagnosed with Placenta Previa. This summer seemed like a breeze. The previa took care of itself and everything was going well. The Friday before we went back to work I had a regular checkup and Dr. Lee noticed a slight arrhythmia with Alex’s heart so she sent me for a level 2 ultrasound. Dr. Zeretsky confirmed it so it was back to Dr. Lee to figure out what to do. Both Drs agreed that it was very mild and Dr. Z informed us that of the 2-4 patients each week that he sees with this condition all have been perfectly fine after birth. Since the 13th we have been back to for ultrasounds and checkups 4 or 5 times. Each visit has been a little more encouraging because the irregular heartbeat was less and less frequent. Well today they hooked me up to a fetal heart monitor and listened for a good 15-20 minutes, then they did an ultrasound and monitored Alex’s heart for another 15 minutes or so. In all that time we never once saw or heard the arrhythmia. That is excellent news! Keep all those prayers coming and thanks for all those that have been said already. We have to go back for the next 2 weeks for monitoring, but we are expecting a good report and hoping that after this everything else will be smooth sailing!
