Doctor Appointment Update

Doctor visit today, all was good. BP was good, weight was 183lbs. Sonogram showed baby's heartrate fine, breathing motions, amniotic fluid levels the same. The baby was laying head down with her hand to her mouth. The bio-physical profile was all normal.

I recieved a call out of the blue on Monday from one of my OB doctors. Turns out the NICU doctor I met with last week sent a note to some doctors who he would like to have come look at the baby once she is born, one of the doctors being the pediatric hematologist. Well......my OB spoke with him on the phone Monday and this doctor didn't feel too comfortable discussing our case with her in great detail, so she asked me to call him. I did yesterday. He wanted to meet with me yesterday. I couldn't. So, we set up a meeting time next week. I was hoping there would be no more doctor visits, but of course I would do anything to make sure everything is good for the baby, but once again on the other hand, I don't want to drive and explain our case once again, when it has been explained to doctors at Hopkins, Kennedy Krieger, Shady Grove, Children's and Georgetown. I don't feel that there is much more to learn at this point and even if there was the baby would be here two days later. I do understand the doctor is probably just requesting this visit to be 100% professional. Today, I did ask my OB what he thought about me having to meet the doctor in person, instead of just a phone consultation. He also thought that this was excessive. The hematologist did say that he would visit the baby in the hospital anyway - no matter what. So, I think I may cancel this visit telling him it's just too much of a drive. My doctors were to fax important records to him. I also offered this doctor my records by fax so that he could see what was going on.

With regards to the c-section, I confirmed with the doctor that I would be stopping the Lovenox injections Tuesday morning, no food after midnight on Wednesday and off to the hospital for a 6:30am arrival on Thursday. The doctor who is performing the c-section is away this week on vacation. I do have an appt. to see the OB one more time next Wed. We're getting very, very CLOSE.........................
