Yesterday we went to the hospital and met with the neonatologist and took a tour of the NICU. He talked to us about OI and the cases he has seen. We also talked about the Hydrocephalus (extra fluid on his brain). He didn't have all the details but he had the just of our case. He said that soon there would be a meeting with him and Dr. Allaire and we will most likely be there to go over everything and make a delivery plan. He also said to expect ALOT of people in the room during delivery with all the NICU people and my doctors.
Today we went in for our regular OB check-up. We did the Bio-physical first. Tristan wasn't moving as much as he normally does...she said probably because I hadn't eaten lunch yet. She got a vibrating buzzer thing to put on my stomach to get him to move around. He finally moved some but not as much as he usually does. He still passed with 8 out of 8. Then we went in to see Dr. Lake. He walked in and said that he had spoken to Dr. Allaire. They definitely want to do a C-section now to try to prevent any fractures (not sure if he went back and saw something after we left because or did more research because he seemed not to be too set on OI at first but at the neonatologist he told him that OI was the diagnosis as well). Both Dr. Lake and Allaire had said before if he turned we could try to have him naturally (which I didn't want to incase it was OI) but now they both say c-section for sure. Also he said we are not going to schedule my c-section now since they normally schedule for 39 weeks and after speaking with Dr. Allaire they think they will need to take him before then. Both Dr's had previously said they don't see why we wouldn't go full term so I'm confused on what the change is unless it is due to the hydrocephalus. Now I'm even more worried. It seems as though depending on what they see at each appointment that any day they will be like we're going to go ahead and take him. I have another checkup on Friday and they are going to start the non-stress tests then. Then Monday back to the cardiac doctor, Tuesday another checkup, and Friday Dr. Allaire again.
