The latest ultrasound took place in Philadelphia yesterday. We found out that the CCAM has doubled in size, from 10 cc's to 20 cc's. This makes the CVR ratio (head volume to CCAM volume ratio) now a .8 (was a .5 before). The CVR is not double because the baby grows as well, and its all relative. The 'get worried' zone for the CVR is 1.6. The doctors, however, did not seem particularly worried and they said that her heart is still functioning normally with no signs of distress, so the plan is still weekly monitoring. They are still comfortable with Harford monitoring next week.
Needless to say this is a bit of a disappointment, as we had hoped the CCAM had stopped at 10 cc's. It still has potential to grow until 32 weeks, and this is just week 24. So far the plan is still normal birth and surgery later, but our confidence level in that plan is a bit less now.
Until we have more to add...
