Jack and Ella had their umbilical cord blood flow measured this morning via the ultrasound. From last Thursday's readings to today's, they look to be stable. Jack's is in the abnormal range at 2.0 and Ella's is normal at 1.4. The doc said that a measurement of 4 would be of real concern...
So... what does that mean? We haven't done a lot of research, but it appears that when Jack's heart contracts, there is a short period of time when the blood doesn't flow from the umbilical cord. They will keep monitoring on a 2 x week schedule. We're praying that it is stable or improves, as is definitely possible.
Also, Jack and Ella's fluid levels are good. His fluid has almost increased to her level, so a prayer answered there...
On a side note, we haven't decided whether it would humane to post pictures of my belly to the internet....
