Visit to U of M

Today we had extensive appointments at U of M Hospital. We started in Genetic Counseling and Ultrasound, which ruled out any chromosome abnormalities. She was diagnosed with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and no other complications. We also had a fetal ecocardiogram which was a full exam of baby's heart. The good news is that the doctors found some blood flow to the left side of the heart, which creates less stress on the right side of the heart. Baby Rule will still need surgery shortly after birth and will be in the hospital for a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks.

We were very pleased with everyone at U of M and felt very comfortable in their care. Baby will be born at U of M most likely on her due date, March 22nd.
