Dr. Campbell did another ultrasound this morning. Lisa's cervix is not holding its ground to the pressure of the twins. The cerclage is still in place, but it has shifted down in the soft tissue. Her cervix has also dilated to 1 cm. He consulted with some other Physicians and ruled out the possibility of trying a secondary cerclage.
Dr. Campbell had the nurses re-insert the catheter and added an IV for antibiotics. He also has her taking endomethacin again. Terb shots were frequent today and so were the contractions. Unfortunately, she is nearly back to her pre-cerclage status. She is not on magnesium yet.
Dr. Campbell told us that we should consider transferring to UK's hospital since they have a better NICU. He hasn't said that we have to go, but if Lisa starts going into labor at less than 28 weeks, he will transfer us to UK. We should find out more tomorrow on what his recommendations are.
A Doctor from St. Joseph's NICU came by to give Lisa a rundown on the babies chances at every week starting at week 23. This was not the most uplifting information. Lisa and I are still hoping and praying for 36+ weeks.
We have a very tough few days, weeks, and months ahead of us. Keep praying for Lisa and the twins.
