The Sun will come out TOMORROW!!!!

 Just wanted to say hi!!!



Today we got the final word.  Dr. Cox, our WONDERFUL doctor, came by this afternoon.  She filled us in on the following:

- They are in agreement that they think it is a cyst on Chrissly's right ovary.  In the last ultrasound they discovered that the cyst has "debris" inside of it.  This is usually an indication that the cyst has burst.  While that sounds scary, that is actually a good thing.  If the cyst did burst, the debris inside is actually the cyst imploding on itself.  Therefore, it is basically getting rid of itself.  The doctor wants us to return at the end of June for another sonogram to make sure that the cyst has not gotten any bigger, and hopefully has gotten smaller and maybe even dissolved!


- Second, her bilirubin levels have dropped again!!! Yea!!!  Like I said before, yesterday her level went from 13.9 to 12.1.  Today her level went down from 12.1 to 11.1.  Yesterday she was out of the clear as far as the bilirubin is concerned; however, since her levels went down in College Station and then up when she came here to Houston, they wanted to establish a downward trend in her levels.  As long as her levels stay the same or get better then she is good to go!  She has been going to the bathroom more often too, which has helped to lower the levels of bilirubin as well.  As a result, she was taken out of the incubator and out from under the bright lights.  :)  She's so happy!  She is literally sleeping like a baby now because she doesn't have to wear her shades in the bright light.  :)  She was also disconnected from the IV....another wonderful step!

Therefore, Hopefully...TOMORROW IS THE DAY WE GET TO GO HOME!!!!  We would love to take a trip with Miss Chriss; however, this is not the one we envisioned :)  We are currently contacting a new travel agent to select a different destination for us to visit as a family :)  jk

I will let you know what tomorrow holds!  Thank you for your love and support!!!!!
