Today's Ups and Downs

Well today is the fourth of July. Independence day!! Last night's stay in the hospital was a busy one (a little uncomfortable too). Lots of monitoring and check ups. We woke up with some possible good news that we might be able to go home today since the baby readings were coming out so well.
Around noon we were then told that they were going to perform an amniocentesis to check the babies lung development. If the lungs look good they will schedule the c-section, if the lungs are not fully developed we would be able to go home and come back in a couple of weeks...which we were both leaning toward.
Our hopes were crushed when Tracy had an ultra sound before the amnio to check where the best possible place would be to take the sample. During this investigation they found that Kimball has some fluid in his abdomen which means that we will have to stay in the hospital until the baby is born. Fluid in the body is common among people with heart failure. This is a new development that we nor the doctor was expecting. We also know that Kimball is a small baby. He is around 35 weeks old but is measuring around 30 weeks which is around three and a half pounds. This just makes any kind of operation even harder.
Right now we are just waiting on the test results from the amnio check and we will know more in an hour or so. We will continue to send updates as soon as possible. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
