So far I am about 14 hours into week 27, and it's already been a roller coaster!
Yesterday, I found out my glucose test came back high. Sky high. We don't need a 3 hour glucose test because it's super high. I'm meeting with a diabetic counselor tomorrow to find out how this effects me. Not sure if it means meds or not. I'm half afraid that maybe it's my raging blood sugar that is the secret sauce keeping this baby girl afloat. Mark assures me that's not the case. I know the future can still be bright without Swedish Fish, but I'm a little nervous about having to add any meds to my already complex situation.
My Stamford docs are getting the ball rolling on really transferring my care to Columbia too. It's exciting and terribly scary. It's a great feeling that I'm being referred to some of the best doctors, but it also hits the reality of the situation pretty hard over my head. This is not a simple case, not run of the mill at all. I spoke to a coordinator today who ran down the list of appointments they're going to set up for me:
- Fetal Echo with the Pediatric Cardiologist I saw before
- Baseline Ulttrasound
- Consultation with Maternal Fetal Medicine/High Risk OB
- Consultation with a neonatologist who will prep us for a NICU stay
- Consultation with a Cardiothoracic surgeon who will let us know what we're looking at for post-delivery surgery
Sounds like a big day at the big hospital. Not sure when this day is yet, but we'll hopefully find out in the next day or two!
