And the decision just got harder

As you all know we thought that we had it all figured out where to deliver. Then of course we had to have a curve ball thrown at us. Anyways we went and met with one of the Pediatric Surgeons here in Boise yesterday. He provided us some good information, then also confused us a bit more. So with everything he said we need to get into contact with the noenatologist again and talk to him. After we talk to him, then we might be able to make a decision on what we feel is the BEST choice that we can possibly make.

The surgeon basically told us that he is willing to do the surgery as long as he can get 100% commitment from one specific Neonatologist and and team in place to follow us through the rest of my pregnancy. He said as long as he can get that then he would be comfortable with doing the surgery here in Boise. He has done several of these specific surgeries. He has been practicing for over 20 years and knows quite a bit about CDH. On another note the surgeon is not the one that will be giving your baby the most care. It is the Neonatologist, so they are really the ones we want to feel the most comfortable with. So I guess now we just wait to see when we can talk with the Neonatologist again and go from there. I know we still have a "little" time, but we are starting to get closer so we need to make a decision and stick with it.

That is all I know at this point and time. I just pray that we get the answers we need and we can make the best decision possible soon.
