Huge bomb dropped on us today.

Baby is developing like he should be, BUT the high risk doctor says she has reason to label this mass as cervical teratoma. About half of this mass is hard and has calcium deposits and the other half is fluid. She is concerned about this teratoma developing even farther and blocking his airway and his ability to swallow. Best case scenario: I deliver a few weeks early via “exit procedure” C-section, they open his airway via intubation or tracheotomy and perform immediate surgery to remove the mass. Worst case scenario: the mass forms at a rapid pace and the baby dies due to being too underdeveloped to undergo surgery so close to major blood vessels.

Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we face this difficult time.
