Catching Up...

Since my last post, Precious Miracle was admitted to the hospital for Reactive Airway Disease (the precusor to asthma). She was released on oxygen which we still (thankfully) have at home. The good news is, we are now better prepared to handle these episodes and can hopefully keep her out of the ER next time.

So, on the baby front, we met with two MFM specialists. The first from HUP said cervical cerclage at 14 weeks. No P17 shots, no bedrest. She even thought I could VBAC. Crazy, huh? I was ready to go! It was music to my ears...although deep down, I felt otherwise.

We then met with Dr. Debbs from Pennsylvania Hospital. He was recommended by my current perinatologist. He was a very nice man. He checked my cervix and said I was NOT a candidate for a cervical cerclage and that I was a candidate for a transabdominal cerclage (TAC). This is considered major surgery. I would have the TAC placed preconception as to elimate any risk to the baby. They will go though my c-section scar and our next baby will have to be a c-section delivery. I am fine with that as to me, VBAC is way too risky with regards to my risk for rupture (I was cut at 24 weeks) and with a TAC in place, you can ONLY deliver by c-section.

I am waiting for God to tell me it's time to move forward. I look at Precious Miracle and am in awe of her. She is so beautiful and so smart. She is just amazing. She deserves a sibling but yet as our only we can give her every single opportunity. Something tells me that a sibling is worth way more than giving her every opportunity...
