Counting Down the Days

It's official, the surgery is scheduled for Monday, April 7th at 10:30am! One week to go!

After our long week of appointments, Cameron and I met with the board of doctors once again last Thursday. In order to be accepted for the fetal repair there are many qualifications you have to meet. When they initially performed the research trial on the fetal repair, the MOMS trial, one of the qualifications was that the moms BMI while pregnant couldn't exceed 35. This qualification in the study became a qualification once the surgery was opened to the public. My BMI did not meet this expectation and normally I would be turned down by every facility that offers this procedure. I am excited to announce that Dr. Crombleholme is starting his own research trial called MOMS Plus. The MOMS Plus trial allows mothers with BMIs 35-40 the option of fetal repair as long as they meet the other qualifications. I will actually be the first patient of the MOMS Plus study!!

Cameron and I are back in Kansas City for the week and will be flying back out to Colorado on Sunday!
