Whoo-Hoo! Finally some good news! As I said yesterday, I had several appointments to go to this morning and I must admit, I had a "lack of faith" problem going on too. I guess I was just completely expecting more bad news, since that seems to be our story here lately, but God was wonderful and proved me wrong!
Appointment #1: Chiropractor
Well, while this was a PAINFUL visit, the doctor was able to put my pelvic bones back in place. She said that there were four different bones involved and that my right side had dropped out of place by almost an inch...thus the painful moving around! And while they are in correct position now, she did say that they will most likely be displaced again...so I go back on Thursday for a check-up. Honestly, if all it takes it a couple of pops here and there to keep me off bedrest -- sign me up! I can deal with the pain part -- but again, Eli is great and at no harm and for that we are thankful!
Appointment #2: Maternal Fetal Group and Ultrasound
Well, Eli is doing great!! As of our last visit two weeks ago, we still had a complete placenta previa which was one of the things that was such a scare for us. Well, today -- everything has moved to where it is supposed to be!!!! Yay!!! This means that they no longer are talking about taking him early, no bedrest at 32 weeks, no steroid shots, no definite c-section, etc! This is a huge deal that I am so thankful that God has taken care of!!! Secondly, the cysts in Eli's brain are no longer present! His heart muscle is still calcified, but it has not gotten any larger and the rest of his heart looks STELLAR! And lastly, he is in the 60th percentile on growth, which means my cardiac meds aren't holding him too far back on the growing aspect. All great news!
Appointment #3: Regular OB Check-Up
*** I get to go back to work! AMEN! ***
*** I can pick Zachary up again! AMEN! ***
*** I now only have appointments every two weeks! AMEN! ***

O, one thing where are you all living? We are in Mount Juliet and I was thinking you were around here pretty close. If you need anything let us know, I am sure you have tons of help, but really if you need ANYTHING just give us a call!!

Thanks Charlotte! And thanks for all the prayers, I feel so blessed to have so many people pulling for us!! We are actually living in Watertown, which is a little south of Lebanon. But Zachary and I come to Mt Juliet often to visit Providence...we need to hook up with you sometime! How is Megan doing?? And how has Matthew adjusted? :)
So glad you posted all that good news because I've been praying hard for you and Eli and it is so encouraging to know when prayers are answered! Will keep praying!
So good to hear that you and Eli are doing well! :)
