Her anemia seems to be under control and her heart is responding very well. Last Friday, for the first time Julia's heart appeared to be normal in size (it's always been large just like William's). AND there is no longer any fluid around her heart. This is very very good news. With her heart functioning appropriately from the transfusions, her other organs are able to get the oxygen they need to develop and grow. She has come such a long way. We really can't believe it.
Julia continues to do a fantastic job on her ultrasounds. The sonographers examine a bunch of variables in a test called a biophysical profile (BPP). She has scored an 8/8 every time :)
Keep it up, Julia Joy! Your big brother must be looking down so proud of you.
Next transfusion is sometime next week, please be thinking of us.
Love,
Liz and Tom
