The BIG Meeting

Today Erica is 44 weeks gestation and 70 days old! She weighed in last night at 3.25 which is 7lbs 2 oz! GO ERICA GO! Tonights weigh in was 3.28 kilos which is 7 lbs 3 1/2 oz! Lets hope it's all weight and not fluids this time. 


Today was also the BIG MEETING day with the Cardiologist of North America. As to what they've discussed she is to go to Saskatoon for a angiocath  in which they'll inject dye through an artery in her groin and take a scan to view the blockages, leaks, pressures, flow, etc. to her heart and organs. 
They want her there tomorrow, so she will be air lifted tomorrow afternoon to the PCIU in saskatoon university hospital, then on Thursday they'll do another echo, and on friday  Dr. Ashok Kakadekar and Dr. Faris will do the procedure. 


There are definitely mixed emotions right now. We've wanted them to not really find anything because the thought that something is wrong with her child's heart is unbearable, but yet I want them to find something that's minor and can be fixed easily and none or at least minimal  invasively because then all our guessing games are over. She wont be the mystery baby... She'll be "fixed" and can come home, where she belongs!
