Today was my “regular” follow up with the MFM doc. With the good news last week, I was hoping this could be the start of weekly appointments, but I got my hopes up too soon.
The mass has grown, and quite a bit, more than Doc wanted to see... ok a lot.
In 5 days it’s tripled in size, which is bad. We also have fluid build-up again in Nugget’s belly, which was practically non-existent at last week’s appointment. So before even coming in to see me after the U/S, she called and scheduled the shunt procedure again for tomorrow morning. This time though she got it scheduled for nice and early (8:30am) so hopefully we aren’t bumped back, and if we are, it shouldn’t be too far! Which also means I have to be to the hospital at 6:30am... dark and early.
So back to the OR I go… this time she said Nugget is in a good position (head down) for her to be able to go in more in the back of the chest, which makes it much harder for baby to dislodge it.
Let’s hope this is it!
*Rough numbers of size: Thursday mass was measuring around 22 (it had been 26 I believe on Monday) and today it was roughly 70.... the highest it's been before this was a little over 40 which was when I had the thoracentisis (1st procedure in office). So 70 is bad, really bad.

I'm sorry to hear it's not good news this time, but keeping you in my T&Ps that it gets sorted out soon!
