First Boston Appointments & Bloodwork

Spoke to the woman at my OB's office who is handling all of our scheduling in Boston. We're headed down early Monday morning (7/31) for an ultrasound and visit with the perinatologist at Brigham & Women's. That afternoon, we'll meet with the pediatric cardiologist at Children's. (Lucky Jamie -- we'll have a lot of time to kill in between appointments, so we can head over to the Children's Museum or something.)

I'm also having bloodwork done today. I asked about being tested for the antibodies related to autoimmune diseases (anti-Ro and anti-La) as there is a link between EFE and those antibodies. My doctor had already requested the test, thankfully. (She must have been doing some research, too!) So today's bloodwork will be for viral antibodies as well as the anti-Ro and anti-La antibodies.
