24 week update

Just wanted to give everyone the weekly update from today's visit.

It was fairly good news...the first answer to prayer was that the amniotic fluid level in both sacs were very similar and right in the middle of the normal range. So, they were not as concerned with twin to twin transfusion syndrome. The other thing is that Baby A's (the one with the mass) fluid level had decreased so another sign that he/she is still able to swallow and 'recycle' the fluid. The mass on Baby A's neck had grown slightly but not as much as the week before and the trachea and esophagus are not being affected at this point. So I think the doctor's were pleased as well because we do not have to follow up again until two weeks from now (September 22).

Both are still growing and very active (they already like to kick and punch each other - must be boys : )! Baby A was 1 lb 9 oz. and Baby B was 1 lb 12 oz.

Dr. Vlastos said he would put our 'energy' (aka prayers) towards having the mass stop growing or reducing in size. This is what I continue to prayer for...a complete miracle!!!!

Thank you all, again, for all the prayers! It means so much to Preston and me!!

Love to all!
