On Thursday I went for another bladder tap. The bladder was full again. The test results came back from the amniocentesis. The results were negative for any chromosomal defects or abnormalities. So this was one step closer to the shunt procedure. The fluid taken on Thursday was to be tested for kidney function and electrolyte levels. The baby looks good.
Monday the test results were in for kidney function. Both kidney's are severly damaged and all the level readings were off by alot. So Kamil is not a candidate for the shunt procedure. There is nothing we can do but wait it out from here. I have another appointment today to check on Kamil and see how he is doing.
The Dr. did find something on Kamil's chromosome 2. Mary from the office said there was an inversion on chromo 2. It probaly means nothing and she said it was a very common thing found in chromosome testing and it is most likely unrelated to Kamil's condition but we are doing more testing to find out what exactly it could mean.
The due date is still May 22 all his measurements are on with the dates so that is a good sign b/c he is still growing and thriving... inside.
