The vastness of my belly is truly alarming. While I only have 2 weeks left in the office, it is hopefully going to be at half-time to accommodate my excessive edema (feet full of fluid). These pix are from yesterday, ringing in at 34.5 weeks. I really cannot get any bigger. No, really. I'm uncomfortable sleeping, which is very sad, as that is one of my most favorite activities. And, if you are asking yourself if there are twins, the answer is no. There is only one person in there. We checked (3 ultrasounds already).
Bo was born on 6/3/07 with the rare congenital disorder currently known as Microvillous (Microvillus) Inclusion Disease. It took 2 hospitals and 5 weeks to diagnose. He became the 61st baby in the US to receive Omegaven. His nutrition is 100% TPN/Omegaven. We believe there will be a cure for this in our lifetime, and that a transplant is NOT the best option for this disease. This is our story.
