Next Appointment---tomorrow

Sorry to have been a negligent blogger. Recent updates:

Last Friday we met our new doctor, Dr. Lynn Simpson, at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital. We had an ultrasound and echo cardiogram, followed by brief meetings with two members of our new medical team. The news was generally positive, though growth discordance between the twins is still large (around 40%). Doctors informed us that we might have to wait some time for the donor twin to catch up. As for other indicators, donor bladder was visible, donor baby had slightly more amniotic fluid, and recipient baby had significantly less amniotic fluid...all good signs. We have another appointment (we may have these every week) tomorrow.

C's mom came this week, replacing C's sister, who had been with us the previous week. Our friends and neighbors continue to stop by, help out, and bring gifts. We are very lucky to know you all. Thank you.

More tomorrow.
