I know I said I would post an update after Brasen's blood flow scan, but I got moved to a new room and just now got my Internet service back up. His blood flow ratio improved from a 4.9 to a 3.6 but Dr. Adam likes to see it around 2.5. Bed rest is helping.
We thought I was going to get to go home yesterday with a home monitor but before they released me, his heart started dipping again so I was told I had to stay. He continues to have a few dips each day and he had one last night. From what I understand, I have to stay on continual monitoring until Brasen can go a full day without any dips.
On top of all this I failed my 1-hour and 3-hour gestational diabetes tests so I have to start a limited diet today at lunch.

Hi Rhysa -
I just wanted to let you know that I am following your blog. I will be praying for you and your little guy that he gets to 'cook' a little longer. I know it's hard in a hospital bed, but try to relax and not go stir-crazy.
