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”

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
