Baby Watch: The CALL BACK!

After we were done with your appointment at Dr. Yosowitz's, we drove back across town (from N Scottdale to Chandler - 30 miles) and decided to stop at Target and then buybuy Baby to complete your baby registers for the upcoming baby showers that are being given for you, Ken & Malaysia. We got to Chandler, parked at Target, went inside and began the registration process for the registry and your cell phone rings... it's Dr. Y's office (Ms. Kim) telling us that we need to return to the office ASAP. We all just kind of look at one another and hurry back out to the truck to make the return trip to the office. Once we arrive, they usher us back into a room and Dr. Y comes in and from the look on his face we all know that we are going to dread hearing what he has to say.

The ultrasound results had come in and it was determined that the cysts they saw were something called Mesenchymal Placenta Dupplasia - in short although small the baby is perfectly healthy, the fluid around the baby is good, even the biophysical profile scored 8/8 and the doppler & heart rate were normal - the placenta is not good. Based on this determination Dr. Nyberg's recommendation is that the baby would need to be delivered at 30 weeks (2 weeks from now) and that you needed to be admitted to the hospital where you would stay until Malaysia is born...

It was now after 10am and Dr. Yosowitz wanted us to take you immediately across to Shea Medical Center North and get you admitted. He left us to have a few precious private moments where we cried and hugged one another trying our best to give the support each of us needed so much. Next, Ken and I had to find the courage to make the calls to those who love us most and to get a prayer chain going.

We drove across to the hospital and you were admitted...
