We played another waiting game today. Which has a person both frustrated yet understanding. The surgeons need to make the best decision, that they can't rush to a quick fix decision.
So we worked on crossword puzzles and wrote in her journal about her daily events, what she means to us and everyone else, How much everyone is praying for her, all while Erica slept and played and sang songs to her while she was awake. {Erica loves the itsy bitsy spider.}She is also 12 weeks old today and weighing in at 3.5 kilo's or 7 lb 11 1/2 oz. They decided to try to give her more lasics as she gaining way too much and is puffing up all over, my poor monkey doesn't have a neck anymore she's getting so swollen.
The cardiologists had there meeting this afternoon and had discussed Erica's case and MRI results along with comparing notes and all her other tests and ultrasounds.
Apparently they still aren't too sure. They know what is wrong and what needs to be done but they are unsure on how they can fix everything in the least riskiest manner. They want to do more echo's and possible a surgery on Thursday or Friday they just aren't 100% sure if they'll just close the ductus and do a lung biopsy and hopefully buy them a little more time with hopes that her pressures in her pulmonary artery and lungs decrease or if they'll do the Massive most risky complete surgery. The Dr. did say however that the Cardiologist don't want to wait long at all.
So we are still not sure what's fully going on. Hopefully we'll get more answers tomorrow!
