Many, many prayers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend/page/2#post-2641307 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 11:40:40 +0000 LAZB 2641307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ValentineMommy: @Adira: @winniebee: thanks y'all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend/page/2#post-2641306 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 11:38:09 +0000 winniebee 2641306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: I'm so sorry to hear this.

She lived for almost two months, they got to enjoy life at home with her, went to parks, festivals, out to eat, had her baptized, met many friends, and all sorts of "normal" family activities. They are so happy to have had the time they did with her. Now she has joined our son in heaven, and we will try to do our best to support them down here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend/page/2#post-2593989 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 20:18:19 +0000 winniebee 2593989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: so sad I'm so sorry!! I'm convinced there are just no right decisions in these situations. You just do the best you can with the information that you have. I hope things turn around, even if it doesn't look good now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend/page/2#post-2593935 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 18:41:02 +0000 LAZB 2593935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: thanks. I know I had mentioned my friend to you on FB before, you both received the diagnosis at a similar time. Unfortunately, things are not looking good. Baby's kidneys are shuttng down, and it looks like they may only be able to provide comfort care after she is born. They are still keeping her in as long as possible, but the prognosis is getting more and more dim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend/page/2#post-2593886 Wed, 27 Jul 2016 16:03:54 +0000 winniebee 2593886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish your friend the very best! What a heartbreaking and traumatizing diagnosis to receive. As you may know, we received a similar diagnosis with our third son (open spina bifida and hydrocephalus) but based on his brain damage, decided not to continue the pregnancy. I hope her child has a very good outcome. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend/page/2#post-2592968 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 13:38:10 +0000 yellowbeach 2592968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: My brother and sister-in-law were faced with a similar situation this time last year. They opted to continue the pregnancy and let nature decide. It's a terrible situation to be in. I'm glad your friend opted to do what she felt was right for her. In the end that's all that matters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend/page/2#post-2591810 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 08:55:14 +0000 LAZB 2591810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: thanks! Me too. She's still keeping the hope, so I am too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2591805 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 08:51:41 +0000 MrsKoala 2591805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Oh good. The longer in, the better. I'll be hoping for the best for your friend! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2591802 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 08:50:51 +0000 LAZB 2591802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: thank you :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2591801 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 08:50:38 +0000 LAZB 2591801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsKoala: they are monitoring her weekly, and just seeing how she does. Her level last week was a 3 (apparently usually 5 is cutoff for delivery), but they said as long as baby isn't in distress, they will let her stay in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2591784 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 08:38:28 +0000 MrsKoala 2591784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Oh no! I hope everything ends up the best case scenario. Do they think she will need to deliver soon because of the low fluid? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2591778 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 08:34:36 +0000 FaithFertility 2591778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: ohhhh my I'm so sorry! So many prayers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2591766 Mon, 25 Jul 2016 08:20:56 +0000 LAZB 2591766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Old thread, but I realized that I never updated! My friend's results all came back normal, as did her 16 week testing for neural tube defects. She went in for her 20 week anatomy scan and was blindsided because her baby has severe spina bifida and abnormal kidneys (amongst other things). Several doctors suggested she terminate, but she wanted to give the baby a chance, and she is almost 31 weeks now. The last two weeks the baby has had very low fluid, because her kidneys aren't working properly, but the baby is not in distress, so they aren't delivering yet. There are a lot of unknowns, and wait for the baby to be born before they can come up with a plan of action. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2591664 Sun, 24 Jul 2016 23:11:18 +0000 yellowbeach 2591664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: {{threadbump}} </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2496834 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 14:08:18 +0000 LAZB 2496834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@simplyfelicity: seemingly so!

I'll update after that :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2496809 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 13:54:02 +0000 simplyfelicity 2496809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: I somehow stumbled across this thread and was wondering if things are still going well for your friend. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2471620 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:42:44 +0000 MrsKoala 2471620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: That's great news!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/poas-analysis-for-a-friend#post-2471600 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 15:32:30 +0000 Autumnmama79 2471600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LAZB: Thanks for updating!

Who knows why it got off to such a slow start, even the RE did not have high hopes, but it is looking good! </p>
