Birthday in the hospital

There were a couple days this last week when we thought Michelle might be able to go home and not have to spend her birthday in the hospital. It didn't work out unfortunately.

After 2 weeks of anti-biotics Michelle is sick of IVs. They keep blowing her veins out. She's gone through 6 different IVs this week. This last one we were just hoping would make it a few days. It did, and Michelle is now off the anti-biotics.

People came at different times in the day to celebrate her birthday. Over all it was a good day, but Michelle really wanted to be home. That was the birthday gift I wanted the most for her. It didn't happen and now it might not even be Monday.

During the day, Michelle had an ultrasound downstairs. It was vaginal exam and the technicians had problems finding the cervix. It was pretty rough and uncomfortable for Michelle. That night, Michelle had a lot of contractions and they were painful. They ended up giving her more indocine and it appeared to get things under control. But it kind of puts some doubt on us getting out of her anytime soon.
