Maria's echo cardiogram came back showing a tiny PDA (ductus). The cardiologist emphasized the word tiny. He wants to see her in 6 months to confirm that the PDA has indeed corrected itself.
Her brain scan results came back "unremarkable"! This result means that her brain is normal (well, so far)! The small cyst she had at the last scan is gone!! I am so incredibly grateful for this one!!
Dr. Balsan said that Maria is on the "launching pad" to come home. He also said that we will need to bring in a crowbar to remove her from the NICU. I love hearing about how attached everyone has become to Maria. She receives regular visits from the housekeeping staff, labor and delivery nurses, and the security guards. One NP said that she arm-wrestled Maria's nurse to gain mid-night feeding rights. I am becoming overwhelmed by how loved she is in the NICU. She's really had very good care.

Praise the Lord for such great test results!! And how amazing for you to hear what great care she has, especially when you are not around. She's on her way, and going strong!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did I miss it? Was there ever a posting for the results of the size of Maria's head and who the winner was?:)
