Update on Westin...

Yes, we have a name....Westin Kidd Hutson

thank you all for your prayers and support over the past couple of weeks. we had our appt with the high risk doctor this morning. i am still a little confused over all he had to say but overall it was a good appt and i am going to do my best to explain whats happening.



westin's measurments were proportional but small. his leg bones (which is one thing my doc was concerned about) looked good compared to the rest of his body!!!



the bright spots were all still there and this could be an indicator of a few things:

- i, some where along the way developed and infection or was around someone with a virus or infection and it was passed along to westin through me. this could be why he is measuring small. his brain and heart look okay which is a good sign that the infection hasnt spread to them. we go back in 4 weeks to measure again and make sure he is growing and that if it is an infection it hasnt spread to heart or brain. this may also be why he is measuring small.

- could be that he may have cystic fibrosis. i am going to get blood work done tomorrow and if i am positive then matthew will go get blood work done and if he is pos as well then this is a good indicator that our westin has cf. but if i am neg or matthew is neg then we can rule out cf.

- the bright spots could all go away in 4 weeks or by birth and everything be fine and the infection didnt affect anything with westin.



so we go back to my doc in 2 weeks and then the high rick doc in 4 weeks. he still didnt rule out any chromosonal issues that could be happening and said the only way to know for sure is to have an amnio done but at this point there is a 1 in 800 chance of losing our baby so i told him no on the amnio. at this point we are waiting and trusting in Gods plan for our baby boy Westin!
