It's been two weeks... whoa!
Karen and I were realizing today that it was 3 weeks ago that we came in to the hospital for the first time when we knew something was 'wrong'... it seems like it was so long ago because so much has happened since then. It's been a very exciting, tiring, stressful, sad and happy two weeks!
Harper had a good day today... again. She is very comfortable in her box and with exception of this leaky duct is a healthy happy baby. Her chest tube is still draining despite the consistent upping of her med's dosage. We still have some time, but let's hope that the duct starts to seal sooner than later.
A little piece of positive news... As I had mentioned earlier in my posts, there was an initially possibility that the hydrops was caused by chromosomal abnormalities. Once she was born, the doctors ruled this out based on her appearance, so it was not a true concern of ours. But, the test results finally came back today and did rule out any chromosomal cause. This was relieving to Karen and I because that would play a role in future baby plans... but, no need to fret over that!
I'll give more updates as we get them. =W=
