Tuesday’s appointment went better than expected: the twins’ numbers were essentially unchanged. Their fluids improved slightly with Baby A holding at MVP approx. 7 and Baby B had a little less fluid at MvP approx. 12.5 which is very good trending for fluids. Our doctor said these numbers may be a signal that they’re stabilizing! Dr. Walker was even positive about their cardiology report: he said Josh’s heart defects were diagnosed better than he thought and Daniel’s would likely resolve before birth. We’ll keep tracking their hearts and be prepared for what might come next after they deliver. The priority is keeping them in utero as long as possible, getting them ready for life outside the womb.

Next Tuesday 2/23/21 their growth is again measured, and we’ll see if Joshua’s (Baby A) percentile improves. Our doctor emphasized that weeks 23-26 are critical; if they go well, we may be able to keep them in longer to like 30-32 weeks. If not, they become viable for delivery as ultra preemies at 26 weeks. Your prayers and healing vibes you’re sending our way are everything: keep up the positivity! Thank you so very much for your words of encouragement.
