Doc Appt

Today we went back to the doctor to kind of get established as official patients, get another ultrasound and figure out the setup for IVIG. They were really nice at the office, just a couple nurses and one doc and were all very friendly and helpful. Looks like everything is going well, Emma will probably end up being an August baby instead of a September baby, but it's not written in stone yet :) After we talked to the doc and nurses we had an ultrasound done and they of course focused a lot on her head and brain, both of which looked great. She has all 10 fingers and toes :) Got a few good profile pics this time and a few 3D shots (even got a 3D shot of her spine and ribs, kind of looks like a fish bone :)). Anyhow, so I start IVIG tomorrow at 6:45a (I skipped classes in college for being too early and they were all at least after 8a!) and they said to expect 8-10 hours so we'll see how it goes! Every week after my appointments I have to stop by the doctor for a quick heartbeat check on Emma and will be doing ultrasounds every 4 weeks unless otherwise needed. Still doing the highest dosage of IVIG and will start prednisone at 28 weeks until delivery which will probably be at 36 weeks. Most likely not going to be doing any invasive checking of Emma's platelets before delivery since Ben's case was so bad, and just in case her levels haven't gotten high enough yet, the testing could cause more harm than good. So now I'm off to eat some dinner and hopefully get to bed early!
