More great news!


ADDED: the drawing above was drawn by the cardio doc. she was explaining all the things in the heart she was able to see and how they were all working...

today estella had her first echocardiogram (EKG). the doc told us her heart looked great! she said that all was normal at this gestation. we will go back on march 29 to have another EKG. if all looks good during that scan, we will be assured that estella's heart is good.

after the EKG, we met with a high-risk OB. i have to say it was the most amazing and enlightening conversation we've had to date. this doctor was amazing. she explained everything to us in a way that gave us a more complete understanding of what has happened and what will be in our future. if you ever have the need for a high-risk OB, go see Edith Chang!!!

she went on to tell us that if the 2nd EKG and the 20-week U/S look good, estella has a 97% chance of being 100% healthy!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP! just 3 weeks ago, our doctors wouldn't even give us a slight percentage that she would even live. now, we are on a path of POTENTIALLY being completely healthy. UNBELIEVABLE.

so, march 29th will be another big day for us all...but, we have even more reason to believe that the news will be positive.

we are ecstatic. we couldnt have asked for more positive results in the past few days. we are so thankful for you all...we are all stronger because of the support of our friends and family. THANK YOU!
