The cyst in her belly was this big!! Looks like it took up her whole abdomen.

Liver Cyst
Julie and I went up to see Claire last night and took a bag filled with colored water up with us. The bag contained 3 1/2 ounces (or about 107 mL) of water - the amount of fluid that the radiologists drew from Claire's big cyst. We took these pictures below to show just how it was in comparison to Claire. I am not sure that the pictures really do it justice. I was amazed at how large it was. It filled the palm of my hand. Claire's belly is about the same size. The cyst measured 3.8 x 2.4 x 4.6 cm after they drained it yesterday. They hope to wean her off of the ventilator today!
Love,

You are so funny with the colored water comparison. I am sure she feels much much better. Maybe you should think of a nursing career (you know in all of your free time ;) )

Claire looks great, bigger than I imagined. I see that sweet face and Trent's nose!! I am so glad the cyst is gone and I hope it stays gone. Miss you!!
ReplyDeleteI never knew you were a twin! Or do y'all just look a whooooole lot alike? Haha, great comparison and I can't imagine how all that was fitting in there. The body is an amazing thing.

Wow...I can't believe she had that much in her tummy! I know she feels much better now that its gone! She looks like a healthy little girl. I can't wait to meet her!
ReplyDeleteWow! Poor little princess. I'm glad they got all of that fluid out of there and made room for her lungs.
