So things stabilized a bit yesterday. I came home yesterday to be with the kids overnight. I'm trying to get some work done this morning, but in all honesty I'm not where I need to be (physically or mentally) and will be heading back to the hospital as soon as I possibly can (either after the kids are out of school or something else happens).
There are new additions to the equation.
This morning's ultra-sounds showed very little fluid, so we are back to thinking the bag has ruptured. Taylor has a couple time now taking a serious dip on the monitor. At 6:30 this morning it was enough for the nurse to run into the room and wake Michelle up. Everything was okay, but its very scary. She's some how compressing the cord and cutting of her own blood supply. You hear the heart beat just slow down to almost stopping and then pick back up again. It may be happening more now because of the lack of fluid.
Michelle apparently has a very opinionated high-strung nurse this morning that doesn't understand why we are not delivering. The doctor was in this morning and still wants to wait.
There is still bleeding going on but it appears to be older blood now so that's good, but we've been here before..
Michelle's upper-back start bothering her last night. Its in the same area where we think the placenta has tore away. The doc did an small ultra-sound this morning and in addition to discovering very little fluid, said there's a blood clot there now. Does that mean its healing? Who knows... He is more concerned that its a kidney stone and has ordered an ultra-sound for that. Just what Michelle needs...
Michelle will not be leaving the hospital for sure until after delivery. She will be delivered at 34 weeks if we can make it that long. Our choice to extend that has been eliminated. More than likely, if anything happens they will deliver. Our doctor will be gone this weekend, and the other doctors we are told will want to deliver. Our doctor is still trying to get us to 28 weeks. We want to get to 28 real bad. We are at 27 today! Yeah!!!! All things considered, its amazing that we've made it this far.
I've reached the point where I don't feel comfortable at home anymore and probably won't be leaving the hospital now. Its takes me too long to get there. I'm packing assuming we are delivering soon. We are going to try to get the kids in for a few hours today so they can see Michelle, but they won't be staying the night. Of course things can just calm down and all that... who knows...
Both Michelle and myself had dreams last night that the baby was delivered. Michelle also dreamed that had a flat stomach. I dreamed that a snake was trying to come after Taylor. I'm not sure what either of those mean, but I think Michelle had a better dream. ;-)
Anyway, that's where things are at now. I'm off to pick up Tristan and will be back on in awhile.
