Maria's red blood cell count is down to 28. You may remember that her level at the transfusion was 25. Dr. Balsan has started giving her nutritional supplements with iron. He wants to see how supplementation helps before he tranfuses her again.
We looked at a growth chart today with Maria's progress. For her gestational age, Maria is in the 10th percentile for head size, length and weight. She's teeny tiny.
Tomorrow is the big day 30 for the birth mother to change her mind. 30 days ago, the birth mother signed a Consent Form, which transfers Maria's parental responsibilities to us. The Consent Form is revocable for 30 days, thus giving her a window in which to change her mind. After tomorrow, the Consent Form becomes irrevocable. The birth mother does not sign any additional paper work tomorrow, her Consent Form simply becomes irrevocable. I hope that makes sense! We are certainly looking forward to Thursday!!!
