From my daughter: Update for 4/9 By Allison Schroeder — 30 minutes ago Well we have had a couple of ultrasounds and doctors visits recently so here is an update of what else we have learned. On March 31st we had an ultrasound/doctor visit which went well. No new bad news was given so we felt some relief. We were able to ask the doctor a couple of questions and learned that Baby will need breast milk and a natural delivery is still an option as long as Baby tolerates labor; Allison had been concerned about both of these details. An induction date of May 14th has been set so as of today we are just five short weeks from meeting Baby! This past Monday the 7th, we had another ultrasound and doctor visit. Apparently the doctor was not satisfied with the findings from the ultrasound so Allison and Baby had to do a non-stress test for 20 minutes. They were hooked up to a heart monitor and Allison had to click a button each time Baby moved. Eleven minutes in the nurse told us that we had passed the test but had to finish out the time. The nurse said if nobody had told her that there was no fluid around Baby she wouldnt have believed it. He moves like a full grown baby so that was awesome news! We then met with the social worker for Childrens to discuss the process of staying at Ronald McDonald House once Baby has arrived. Then we met with the nephrologist that will be handling Babys care to learn more about the dialysis process. It was a very scary and intense conversation but we feel more prepared for what to expect. At this point we are still in a waiting game. Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers! Jake and Allison heart
