At this point, we have a completely healthy adult daughter that had nothing more than remote orders coming in from Neurology about an Epi and RNs that varied from sharp and involved to casual and no understanding of the risks.
She did real good, and would have had no low BP risk without the Epi, but MIGHT have had some unknown risk from the stress and blood vessel pressures associated with the heavy pushing in final labor.
Baby is more than fine, though rather tiny by today's 9#+ standards. She rang in at 9.5/9.5 on a scale of 1-10 Apgar, with excellent reflexes and alert and active at birth, and nursed well at the first opportunity.
Heck she even only sneezed once to clear her lungs, and 'talked' loudly to the doctors in Delivery, and only cried once when they laid her out nekkid on a cold scale! ;
Odds are very good that she will continue to be fine.
Laura will have a follow-up in November with Dr Edwards at Stanford, at which time he will do a non-invasive multi-pronged imaging of her Moyamoya and all the usual battery of status tests as well.
Then we can finally relax completely, assuming the results are as good as her current status seems to indicate.
