Baby B 2 Update

Well I know i've left you all hanging on what we found out at our doctors appointment Monday. It was kind of a bitter sweet visit. The doctor noticed my thyroid was very enlarged. She also noticed I may be further along than we think. She ordered an ultrasound of my thyroid to be done yesterday and an ultrasound of the baby to be done this coming Wednesday. I got my results from my thyroid ultrasound today. Not very good news. I have several large cysts and legolas in my thyroid. They sent my results to my thyroid specialist Dr. Perry in Noblesville. My OB's stated that the main concern is pre clampsia, low birth weight of baby and prematurity. They will treat me and work with Dr. Perry to the best of their ability. If either doctor feels that I need to see a high risk OB I will be refered to a doctor next to Dr. Perry at St.Vincent. No matter what OB I am with Dr. Perry will be by my side doctor! All of the doctors are going to be working together to do what is best for the baby. All the possibilities of what could go wrong are scary. John and I know that this is in Gods hands. The doctors have all said we know what we are dealing with and everything will be handled to the best of their ability. I could go through this whole pregnancy and everything be fine or something could happen. We are thinking positive though and we are just thankful God has blessed us with this baby. Both doctors can't believe I was able to get pregnant with my situation. God is great! I know he will take care and guide us through this. I am so thankful for my amazing doctors at Henry County OB's and my thryoid specialist Dr. Perry. They really handled this whole situation amazing! I feel like I am in great hands. Dr. Perry did tell me that they will either treat my thyroid with different medicaitons or remove it. If we need to remove it we will, but we would like to wait until after the baby is deliverd. Either was it's treated the affects are still their. Please keep us in your prayers. I will keep you all posted as we find anything out. I will also get our ultrasound pictures posted next Wednesday evening!
