The Kitchen Table

Back Home From Hospital

I am back home from the hospital. Amber went today. Her water broke and she is at 35 weeks and 5 days. The baby will be considered a preemie. She was in labor but has stopped. After a pill to help with things they are going to give her something at midnight to get the labor started again. I was going to spend the night but since things won't get going good until morning, according to the doctor, I decided to come on home. She is in a nice room. That is the room where the baby will be delivered and where she and the baby will stay. If things don't progress, then, a c-section will take place. Keep good thoughts for them that things go well.

Ann, Yep I was on bed rest with Hayden, but it was 10 weeks of contractions. With the contractions it was just more of aproblem with my bein in pain and not a threat with the baby. With the high blood presure and protein in my urine it is hard on the baby. I have been on bed rest and also blood pressure meds my blood pressure has still been higher than they want. We go in for a check tomorrow ( if we don't get the 10 inches of snow and 55 mph winds they are talking about) and they will do an amnio on Friday to see if the baby is ready. The kids are all at my folks and I miss them so much, but bed rest is impossible with 3 little helpers. Stacie

Hi all, Dang, my life just needs to SLOW down. Dh is doing well but Sunday morning he woke up and it was plain to see that the depression had hit him like a ton of bricks. Mind you that is even a bit funny since he is a shrink and knew it could happen but did not think it would happen to HIM! With lots of TLC he is feeling better and the last of the site pain is better. Which is good since I am searching the calender for a good day to pencil in my breakdown ;-) Thanks for all the nice comments.. I do my best to keep up and keep moving and that is a great help with the Lupus symptoms. You know the funny part was that for years no one caught it that it was the *L* that I was dealing with. It was only after the death of one of our children that one doc started to piece things toghter. Mind you.. once all the facts were together it was pretty plain and it turns out I had been flaring since I was in about 8th grade!! .. such is life. I always figure that there are others with less than me and more hardship so I need to suck it up and get on with life and walk this earth to help others. I finked out tonight on the dinner thing and just got salads from a local deli since I was tired.. but I am still looking at new ways to eat... funny really since I have been actually DREAMING about Holandaise sauce!!!!

Glender, if you decide to take a nap, a 30 minute to an hour nap will refresh you - set an alarm for the limit of time and then get up CAREFULLY - we don't want you to get light-headed and fall!

My mil is coming over today to help with Rhiannon (5) and Rhiannon is such a good helper, her and grandma are going to make cookies and go through clothes. We could get 6 inches of snow tomorrow through Thursday, just what I need. DH has to be out in it Thursday to supervise a football game. I have been taking my blood pressure with a cuff and it is still high. I went next door to borrow their bp machine and it was 152/101. I am going to call in to the Dr's to see if they can write a prescription so that I can keep track of my blood pressures over the next week at home. I don't want it to get too high and I am 20 miles from the hospital. Then again reading it all the time may make me more anxious, but I would rather have an accurate reading to keep Dr's updated.
