MCA

Mommy and Daddy know more than they ever wanted to know about the middle cerebral artery (MCA)  peak systolic velocity.  Currently the MCA, is the best predictor for evaluating for fetal anemia, that high risk obstetrics have right now.  Baby bear's MCA is closely monitored twice a week.  Today the MCA is slightly higher than the doctors want it to be.  They now need to monitor the MCA daily.  The baby is doing wonderful despite this news.  The non-stress today went great.  Mommy will be admitted today since the weather is not great and they would like her close to the hospital.   Keep the prayers coming....Mommy and baby bear hang in there, you are doing great!
