Finally Some Good News!!

I received a call at work from Good Samaritan hospital asking us to come in yesterday and speak with one of our Doctor's, Dr. Coppage. I was very nervous because it was a random call in. However, per the receptionist, if it were serious then a doctor would have called us in and not her. So Chris and I so anxious to see what our doctor had to go over with us, hopped in our truck and headed over.
When we got there, of course everyone was more than friendly. I did my standard routine of weighing in, taking my blood pressure (perfect), and filling up the cup. After that Doctor Coppage came in to see us. We went over some blood tests that I still need to have done and some other minor issues, but then came this statement, "I think it is time to start making plans."
She told us that, "the girls are doing much better than she had anticipated and that we should all start preparing ourselves for if they are born and what their real chances are!"
MUSIC TO MY EARS! Finally, we have a real ray of hope! She also said that we have come so far since 12 weeks when we first met her. It has been 2 months and the girls are still going so strong. She said we still have a long road of ahead of us but, we are at the point to determine what our girls' real chances are and to begin meeting with the top pediatric surgeons and Children's hospital and be ready for whatever these girls have to give us!
And so here is the plan: next thursday, April 2nd, I will be going in for a complete ultrasound. This usually takes about an hour and all it is, is measurements of everything about the babies. From their heads to their tiny toes! mm... I love to see their toes! After that we will me the Associate Director of Children's Hospital, to go over some basic things we already know, but to basically meet him.
On April 9th, we make our big visit to the Doctors. The girls and I will head back to the MRI and do a fetal echocardiogram (sp?)-which is done by a cardiologist to tell us all about what the condition of their heart is. After those two are reviewed by our doctor's at Good Sam and the Surgeons at Children's hospital we will have a meeting to go over our findings. When we first did the MRI with the girls at 12 weeks, they were the size of a little lime and they weren't as developed as they are now. Now that they have grown tremendously the team of doctors can better understand all about them. April 9th, will be a big day for us. We will be getting either good news or bad news. But either way, a plan of action will take place to protect their lives the best we can.
To Chris and I all of this is great news! We of course realize there is a very long road ahead of us. But today God has answered many of our prayers and the cries of our hearts. Please keep praying these next two weeks for our doctors and for our families, and of course for the girls. So that we may better face the road ahead.
