Exploding Veins & Steroids

October 18th, 2007 · 6 Comments

After a good day in the hospital on Wednesday, the evening did not go so hot. Hava lost another IV site, which was her second one since being here, so they had to put a new one in. Something didn’t work correctly when it went in and, according to Hava, the vein exploded (I said [...]

My view

October 17th, 2007 · 11 Comments

I haven’t left this room since Friday so my view is a little limited. Tadd already knows his way around the floor and has met lots of the nurses, he has a one up on me since I only see the ones that are assigned to me. Here is a slice of what my day [...]

“Cautiously Optimistic”

October 17th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Those were the words of the perinatologist this afternoon. He stated he was “cautiously optimistic”. My labs today were good, virtually unchanged from when I came in on Friday. No signs of infection, temp still normal. Taking one day at a time. Since I did not go into labor within the first 48 hours of [...]

October 16th, 2007 · 14 Comments

Today was uneventful and in our little world that is a good thing. The perinatologist was in and said things were good so far. One of the biggest risks of a ruptured sac is the threat of infection. If Loen was to get an infection then Derby would get it also, not good odds there. [...]

No News is Good News

October 14th, 2007 · 4 Comments

Today went well, except for a bit of dehydration that caused leg and back pain for Hava. She immediately felt better after getting an IV. Right now, no news is good news, and we have nothing to report. Hava has been off the medications that were stopping her contractions for over 24 hours and nothing [...]

Saturday

October 13th, 2007 · 10 Comments

Today was a decent day. We learned more, got over the shock of last night, and strengthened our resolve. We have had good support and I truly appreciate that people are not being too pushy about getting information. Maybe that is bad on my part, but I really do not want to talk to everybody [...]

We just need 39 more days. Please, think positive thoughts/pray, whatever you can do to will our babies to stay in for another 39 days. In 39 day, the babies will be at 28 weeks. This is 12 weeks early, but they would have very great chances to not have any long lasting problems. They [...]
