Another sonogram showed that Lydia is doing much better. A different sonographer also mentioned that "she looks like a different baby". She had to look at the previous sonogram pictures to believe that she had Stage 3 CCAM for herself. I am almost 33 weeks and Lydia already weighs 5 pounds 7 ounces. They see that both lungs are developing and everything is back into position. She does have a little fluid around her left lung (the lung that was squashed). They said that if there was still fluid there at birth that they would just drain it, which is a pretty simple procedure. The doctor said that it could certainly heal before birth. He also said that they may not even have to do a CT scan if her chest x-ray does not show anything. Maybe that means no surgery at all. I don't have another sonogram until 36 weeks and there are no plans to c-section or induce at this time. Praise the Lord!

For those of you who have not heard, Kyle's father passed away and we are back from out of town funeral services. It was a great time with family and the funeral was a celebration of his life.

Thank you to everyone for keeping us in your prayers.

Love,
Kyle and Melinda
