The Frame family is starting to detest afternoon scans for Baby Claire. Yesterday we found out that she did not develop a spleen. The spleen serves three major functions within our bodies (1. holds extra blood, 2. monitors red blood cells, 3. immunities). At this point the Doctors are most concerned with the third and thus she will be medicated with antibodies for all of her life.
As if the heart abnormality was not enough, then we introduced the spleen, about 3:00pm we found that Baby Claire has a malrotated bowel. This means that the small intestine is not in the proper place and at a higher risk of blockage. Surgery will be required but it appears that the team of doctors want to see how the heart progresses before pursuing this problem.
For your benefit and mine, I will refrain from reflection tonight.
