Hello everyone!
Sorry it's been so long since my last update. Atticus is doing well. He's had an interesting last few days. As I mentioned before, the CT scan was positive, and they don't think he needs any kind of procedure/surgery right now because the narrow spots aren't causing any blockage to the blood flow. They did have to put a PD (Perinatal Drain sp?) back in his belly. He was starting to have a hard time breathing. They've gotten over 600cc of fluid off his abdomen. The doctors were hoping that if they waited; they could force Atticus' body to reabsorb the fluid,They believe he's getting close to getting off the ventilator, and they didn't want to ruin his chances of getting off. But his breathing has slowed back down to the 30s and 40s bpm, and his heart rate is back to around 147 bpm, and his oxygen sats have been better because he can take deeper breaths. He'll still have to be on it for another week or two, but it's getting close--if all goes well. Please keep praying for Atticus. He's made it through so much already. I"m still hoping for a sort of miracle that we can all be home together for Gideon's 3rd birthday on March 14th. That would be a dream come true. Talk to everyone soon!
