Performed to complete growths at the ob site this week.  I have a hard time with twins.  They put themselves in such positions that it is hard to follow their body's.  I was pretty on target with the other tech's measurements.  Need to review the amnio and chorionicities of multiples.

Just got some great news.  I am hired on at my vascular site.  I did an aorta study.  wasn't able to finish it as the 84year old man had hernias galore and had eaten.  Felt bad that I couldn't finish it but I did most of what they asked for.  They needed AO prx mid dist measurements then velocities there and the ct sma renal take offs and bilat iliacs.  I couldn't realize the ct or the sma.  too much gas. frustrating

Done with my abdominal clinical site now for good.  Too bad that they don't have a position for me.  Feels like another chapter in my life has past.  I will miss some of the people there.  Good people.  Had a case of oligohydramnios at my ob site.  We checked the cord doppler.  It wasn't high resistive.  Got to see how the fetal respirations affect the flow.  neat

I was able to see a partial molar pregnancy this week.  Guess that is pretty rare.  I wasn't able to scan it as it was already known and the people were there to talk about a possible amniocentesis even though they couldn't keep it.  The husband was crying.  a pretty sad situation.  The placenta had cysts all over it.  The baby was squished with oligohydramnios.  sad sad
