At my appointment with the high risk OB they believe found something on the baby's spine.
At first they thought it was a small spina bifida or sacrococcygeal teratoma tumor.
They did a trans-vaginal ultrasound to get a better look and it was indeed a sacrococcygeal teratoma tumor.
The positive- the doctor said it was the smallest one he had ever seen and they are most often non-cancerous.
The negative- it will require surgery soon after birth, could endanger nerves, or cause other defects. It can also bring about complications for the mother during pregnancy as well. If the tumor pulls enough blood away from the baby's heart it can be fatal.
I know I depend on you for prayer for my mom and everything else in my life, but could you please ask the Lord to heal this?
I am scheduled for an MRI on Friday so they can have a better look. I am praying that this will be gone by then.
That is the same day as mom's oncologist appointment, and I know that I had already asked you all to pray for a good result with that.
Thank you and God Bless.
