So much for going home....
Dr. Campbell did an ultrasound this morning. The babies are fine and the fluid levels are ok. Her cervix was not ok. We don't know why, but her cervix was not as good as the pre-Cincy status. During the ultrasound Lisa had a contraction, and Dr. Campbell watched the affect of the contraction on the cervix. It was pretty neat but scary.
The bed-side potty is now back, and Lisa's bed is at a steep incline at all times. Dr. Campbell has directed the nurses to give Terb shots liberally (she's gotten 3 today so far).
I asked Dr. Campbell if amniocentesis was still a consideration to relieve pressure off of the cervix. He said that he wasn't even considering it at this time.
It is kind of strange how the focus seems to shift from one thing to the next. Maybe I just have a poor judgment of what the Dr is watching. It started with the cervix, then fluid levels, too much fluid in Baby A, Baby B's size, Twin to Twin Transfusion, umbilical cord location, and now back to the cervix. The Dr. doesn't seem to be concerned at all about the fluid levels or Baby B's size right now. In fairness, he has always been concerned about her cervix, and I guess now it has taken priority over all other potential issues.
It is pretty clear now that Lisa will not be going home until the babies come out.
