Big day tomorrow

Julia's MCA's have been trending upwards, today's ultrasound showed the highest reading since her last transfusion. Our doctors have decided to check her blood count in order to assess her anemia before things get worse. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to sample from her umbilical cord and of course, this is quite a scary thing. Based on her count, the doctors will decide whether to transfuse or not.

We knew this day would come and feel confident in our doctor's ability and Julia’s resilience to make it through alright. We are so thankful for getting more time in between the transfusions than anyone anticipated. Every day we've had with her is a blessing. The positive note here is that Julia appears to be much stronger this time around compared to last transfusion. But fingers remained crossed.

We know you are all thinking of her and sending prayers. Please keep Julia in your minds tomorrow afternoon especially.

Much love,
Liz and Tom

Enjoy more photos of our cutie pie :)
