Follow up - Echocardiogram

I'm not sure if anyone is following us quite yet, but here is an update if you are. Not much of an update, which is good, actually. We had an echo today, with no new findings. Unfortunately, nothing has improved either, but nothing has worsened. We sat with the cardiologists, and asked about possible scenarios after the baby is born. It's all unknown. It is completely dependent on how Logan's heart works on it's own. We may get to hold him for a half hour after he is born before they take him away to monitor him, we may only be able to see him for a few minutes before they whisk him away. They don't know if he will need immediate surgery, or any procedures immediately, or if they will be able to wait because he can stabilize himself. All of these unknown factors kill me and make my mind constantly run, and wonder, and worry. I know he will be in good hands, and I know we are lucky that we get to know there is something wrong ahead of time, but it doesn't change the fact that it WILL be happening, and we have NO idea how he is going to manage on his own, before interventions.
After our echo appointment, we had an appointment with our prenatal care providers. After researching the most current diagnosis of Dextrocardia, I found that it is common for children with this defect to also have a missing spleen. I asked if it was seen in any other ultrasounds, and the doctor was unable to see if anything was said about it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. In fact, it gave me hope that it IS there, because you'd think they'd notice it missing. We will have an ultrasound on the 19th, and the doctor made a note to specifically check for the spleen. That is one piece of the puzzle I am really hoping is in place. If not, it opens a whole new world of problems for our little guy, and a harder road. Fingers crossed.
All in all, it was a good appointment. Long, but good, no news is good news.
Our next appointment is on the 19th for an ultrasound, a tour of the NICU and to meet with the neonatal team. We will also schedule our induction date. Can't wait to meet this little trouble maker of ours.
