Appointment Updates

Got a call for Dr. T about Lincoln's MRI & kidney ultrasound. His MRI shows no real changes. His SEGA is 11mm in size & has not grown in the past year. The kidney u/s shows either an angiomyolipoma or a calcium deposit in his right kidney at 8mm in size. Nothing to be worried about the doctor said because it is such a small thing, but it is something new - that wasn't there when he was a baby, so we will do another u/s in 3-4 years to check on it's size.

We are considering adding a medication to his regime called Afinitor. According to the doctor it helps control the SEGA growth, which we don't have to worry about yet, and it also possibly increases cognitive function. Unfortunately there is the side effect of immune suppression, and with Lincoln headed back to pre-school next week, this is something we will have to consider carefully.

I had my 34.5 week OB appointment today. Nothing exciting to share. Not dilated at all & baby girl is head down. This pregnancy is so different than the others because at 34-35 weeks all of my other three kids were breech & I was already 3-4cm dilated at this point. So really we will just have to wait & see what baby Cora has planned for us. :)
