Greetings friends. After last night's fun move back to labour and delivery observation due to my not decreasing blood pressure, we are all happy to say that bp is normal again. The ob put me on Magnesium Sulfate again to prevent seizures (due to the high pressure) and that and multiple introvenus meds made for a dopey night and much of the day.
This morning and afternoon I was delighted by visitors! Too bad I was strapped to the bed with electrodes picking up Blasto's every heartbeat and movement. Unfortunately because of the magnesium sulfate even Blasto was dopey. By 6 pm I had been strapped for 6 hours ( 3 in am and 3 in pm) and Blasto was still sleeping so they set us free. Bryce came, I had a shower and everyone felt human again.
Thanks to all of you for your prayers. We're just waiting now to figure things out. Hopefully once again out of the woods.
Emily
Yeah for one more day. Continuing to pray. Sleep well, dear ones.
ReplyDeletePoco a poco. Baby grows. What an experience to be restricted in such a way. Hopefully you will be sprung to greater freedom soon. I will be in Stoon on Thursday. All remnants of this past weeks headcold should have long vanished by then. Should I bring pedicure articles. I promise I will not tickle your feet.
ReplyDeleteMy hymn for you tonight:
O Lord, hear my prayer, O Lord, hear my prayer:
when I call answer me.
O Lord, hear my prayer, O Lord, hear my prayer,
come and listen to me
I feel for you Emily! I spent 6 weeks laying on my left side, only getting up to eat, pee and take an occasional shower. Rachel was born healthy at 34 weeks and all was well. That was 20 years ago! I pray for you the same outcome - a healthy baby and mama held in the hands of God.
ReplyDeleteDearest Ernestine: Each night, Raphael and I pray for you, Buster, and your little one, Taylor (in fact, last night, Wilfred ended his prayer and said, "Amen," and then said, "Oh wait ..." and then prayed for you 3! (That Franklin is such a super Christian!) Please know, however, Josephine Megan, that you are indeed in our prayers and thoughts ... we are wishing and hoping the very best for you, Leroy, and little Chip (as in, off the block). Please behave and listen to the doctors, Daisy Lilly, as I know you have a tendency to mis-behave (though it is one of the many things I, Philomena, love about you, Melody Jasmine! Hang in there!!
