Some Not-so Reassuring News

Friday we had another ultrasound to check on the fluid levels and on baby's stomach. Unfortunately the ultrasound showed that the fluid has increased significantly and the baby's stomach is still small. This is not reassuring news. Nothing can be set in stone at this point, since they cannot test for Ellie's specific condition (since she is undiagnosed) but these are soft signs that point to the same issues that Ellie has. The signs of extra fluid and a small stomach could be because the baby is not swallowing well. There is still a possibility that this is all a fluke though too.

As you can imagine, we are quite worried and upset about these findings. It is hard to imagine why this could be happening to us. But we rest in the truth that our God is in control-he will never leave us nor forsake us. All things happen to his glory, and we rest in him.

Please, please pray for mercy on us and our baby. I will try to keep updating, but please keep in mind that it is very difficult to experience these same emotions again that we felt almost 2 years ago with Ellie.
