My Future's So Bright, I Have to Wear Shades!!! :)

The surgeon came by this evening and said that the team of doctors felt strongly that the cyst is an ovarian cyst.  He also said that they next step will most likely be nothing, because they usually do not remove ovarian cysts from infants unless they are 5 cm or more.  Chrissly's cyst is only 3 cm.  He said that most of the time, cysts like this degenerate and will go away on their own.  The final word will come tomorrow; but, for now it is looking extremely positive and like we may go home tomorrow or the next day.

     The last worry we have is her struggle with jaundice.  As you can see, her future is so bright that she has to wear shades.  Hopefully, soon we will be able to switch out those shades for some cute sunglasses :)  The last blood count looked really good.  Her bilirubin levels went from 13.9 to 12.1.  This is a great improvement!  We are not out muddy water yet; but, improvement!  We are still struggling to get her to go potty...but, she is being hydrated from me and the IV...so, it's just a waiting game. 

        It's almost time to feed...hopefully I will have more updates first thing tomorrow morning!!!  We cannot wait to take our little angel home and love on her in our own house!!! 

Thanks for all your love and support!!!

  1. Hi, Christel. I taught with your mom and met you once, but you know how moms brag about their kids-I feel like I know you. :)

    Anyway, I've been praying for sweet Chrissly and am so glad to read this post tonight.

    You'll be glad you took her 'shades' pic-fun to have for the baby book. :) Oh, and she's absolutely adorable!
