Quick Update on Previous Blog

Dear Friends,

I asserted a little influence and was able to get them to start the IV again. Apparently the perinatologist doesn't want to "artificially" inflate the Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI). On the face of it that is transparently foolish and dangerous. After our insistence the on call doctor agreed to order the IV even though the specialist decided against it.

They will keep the IV going at least until Wednesday when we meet with the perinatologist and come up with a plan of action from there. I'll keep you posted on the AFI's and the situation with the doctors.

Dave
