The balloon is out, or at least it's not there anymore. The procedure was quick but they weren't able to locate the balloon. The doctor thinks it may have gotten dislodged in the last week or so because they weren't able to locate it on my last ultrasound. Either way, he says it's fine. They do know that the lungs have grown and the important thing is that the balloon is no longer blocking his airway. He can now be delivered normally without an EXIT procedure. So, now we just wait and hope he stays where he is as long as possible.

I want to introduce myself to you. I found your blog through Kayla Mae. I read your blog from the beggining. I delivered our daughter Nayeli last October at UCSF. She was diagnosed with LCDH at 18 weeks utero. I also went Walnut Creek Kaiser for follow up care. We live in the East Bay area so if you need someone to talk to I am here.
ReplyDeleteI also want to let you know we have a foundation so we want to help you with anything you need with your stay at UCSF.
