In L&D

minibean16

Well, this has certainly been a day of ups and down for you! I know you didn't want this news, but at least 37 weeks is a reasonable welcome date for G.

Please make sure the nurses know how much we love your HDBD pictures, because we need your adorable self even with the bed rest!

Whoa - I have had a hard time keeping up with Bumping lately, so I am just seeing this. Glad you're relatively ok, and that Grayson is ok, but I'm sorry you're stuck in there! Positive vibes, good juju, and thoughts and prayers your way!

CarrieAnne09

Sorry you're stuck in bed for so long. But I'm glad you're in good hands at the hospital. T&Ps that he stays in there as long as he can!!

Maelara

Oh no! I'm so sorry you are stuck there for another 4 weeks we are here to keep you company though!! Plus side, right?!

No REAL update here, but I thought I'd keep everyone clued in and let you know that, like I've said, the preeclampsia is mild, my bp has been running decent (and as well as 123/58 earlier!), my urine output seems normal, they're not concerned enough to do another 24 hour urine test nor am I to receive any more steroid shots SO basically I'm here for the month for precautionary purposes only...or as far as I've been told (since we live 2 hours away and have no hospitals close enough to help in case of emergency)

ANYWHO...this morning I mentioned to the weekend Dr that I have 3 relatives that live about 15 minutes away from here and she mentioned that that was really good information and she would talk to to my Dr. when she came back in on Monday about the possibility of letting me be discharged to stay with one of them since I'd be close. SSOOOO for those prayers out there, pray for good health and that I may be released. Provided, I'd not be home, but it'sd be so much better for me and even US I believe. All of my scans of baby have come back great as well so I've spent the last 4 days in tears and completely depressed...how helpful is THAT!?

Thank you all again for listening to me blab/vent and for your kind words!!

Praying for you to stay with fam vs hospital!!!

CarrieAnne09

@NLJ82‌ - I'm sorry that you're so upset and I really hope that they let you stay with family closeby. I can't imagine how tough it must be to be in a hospital bed all day. If you do end up staying just remember it's temporary and you get the most amazing prize at the end! Keep us updated - it's nice to hear from you.

My nurses that do my NSTs agree that it is better for you to be in a place of comfort than their beds. Praying that you can get to a relative's place.

Also, awesome bp reading earlier! Thoughts and prayers for you and Grayson.

MollMoll4

I'm so sorry you are having such a hard time right now! I'm keeping you in my thoughts and keeping my fingers crossed that they let you stay with a nearby relative!

minibean16

That would be great if you were able to stay with relatives. And 128/58 is a solid reading! Keep those going, body!!

hjenni

Sorry this is so late. I'm so sorry you're going through this but I'm glad they are able to keep little one in there a little longer. FX that you get to stay with your relatives rather than the hospital! ((Hugs!)) >:D<

Just caught up on you after being away from the Bump all weekend - I am hoping they tell you today that you can stay with someone in your family rather than being stuck in the hospital for a month.  It sounds like you are getting great care, you and your sweet lil baby boy will continue to be in my thoughts!

BrittG13

Praying you get to stay with family for the next couple of weeks!!

Bandia12

Just getting caught up on your last 2 updates. 1) Boo for having to stay in the hospital for 4 more weeks, but I'm so glad that they are being proactive and keeping an eye on you. 2) I really hope they let you stay with family instead! Sounds like a great option for you to be more comfortable but still close. T&P to you! 

sweetbabyrahe

Fx for staying with family and hooray for good BP numbers and NSTs.

jibell

Any update on being able to stay with relatives?

Stephaniegiboney

Good news that things are looking good!! I'm sure it is boring in there, but as everyone else has said, hopefully you can leave soon and spend this time with family

NLJ82

TBH....I don't even know where I left off lol BUT...here we go...

Monday we were prepared to go home. They told me that morning that I could go stay with relatives but wanted to do an NST first. I got all excited, showered, ready to go and THEN...of course...he failed the NST. From there we did a BPP in which he also failed so they told me they'd like me to stay one more night just for monitoring..

Tuesday morning the Dr. came back in and we decided, again, if everything goes well, I can leave and come back as needed. NST looked decent and during the BPP he was breathing on his own and moving all over the place. The Dr said "He's passed with flying colors!....oh....wait" and THEN she told me that in less than a week my fluid level had dropped from a 12 to a 4. Had I been a week or two further along, they would have taken him today, however, they want him to cook as long as possible.

As for going to stay with a family member, that's out of the question now. They told me that I could get blood work daily to continuously check my levels and that they would measure the fluid daily as well. They also told me to not expect to make it to 37 weeks because with the way things are going (bp keep rising as well) things will only get worse and he will most definitely be a preemie baby.

Information is changing all the time, it's really freaking me out! I'm not supposed to be walking any now; only for short walks down my hall and back and to the bathroom.

In an unrelated note, I had been kind of upset the past couple of days that my dad had no really called/text or some to see me. Around 2 today, just after receiving all of this information, he called me, in good spirits, to say that he wanted me to know that right now he's doing great, HOWEVER, the day after I was admitted he suffered a heart attack, was taken by squad to the hospital, admitted, had a heart cath and was just released today. Apparently my entire family knew and didn't tell me for fear it would raise my bp (& it would have!).

SO..again....for those praying people! Please pray that Grayson will be nice and strong when he comes out, that I will be able to stay healthy and now that my dad will continue to be healthy as well.

THANKS!!

Sending more prayers for both of you and your dad now!! Hugs!!

minibean16

@NLJ82‌ this is like a terrible soap opera! I can't believe all the ups and downs!

So sorry that relatives are out. G is just determined to meet you. Take heart in the fact that his test results were much better today!

Also so sorry about your dad! That's terrible news, (though I will admit I'm glad he's not just disappointing you again) and I hope his full recovery is speedy.

Want me to call and have a pizza delivered to your room?

wildflower75

I'm so sorry they won't release you from the hospital but I am happy that they are monitoring you and Grayson so closely. I'm glad your father is better and called you! Hang in there!! Sending love and prayers to you and your family!

aa98

Oh no.  I'm hoping somehow your medical team finds something that can bring your BP down so your indicators start to look more reassuring and Grayson can safely bake as long as possible.  I'm praying for your father's speedy recovery as well.  many hugs to you. 

HappyToBeHere

Aw man!  Just catching up on your updates.  Hang in there, mama!  You and your little man are in awesome hands.  Keeping your little family as well as your dad in my thoughts and prayers!

TeeJ526

Sorry about the bed rest. I hope Grayson stays put for as long as possible.

sweetbabyrahe

So sorry you are going through this. Many prayers are being sent your way for you, Grayson, and your father.

mockingjay1

I'm sorry you are going through this. Sending T&Ps and hoping for the best for you, Grayson, and your dad. 

Bandia12

Goodness... you've got so much going on right now. I hope they are able to control your BP and keep Grayson baking as long as possible! FX your fluid levels don't go down any more. I'm so sorry that you can't go stay with family now, but I'm glad that your doc etc are being so cautious and monitoring you both so well. I'm glad your dad is ok now, and I hope that he continues to do well!! T&P to all of you!  >:D<

BrittG13

Prayers for you, your dad, and Grayson!

Sending T&Ps for you, Grayson, and your father. Thinking of you and your family.

mander82

Hang in there!!   Sounds like you are going through and dealing with so much right now.....just take it one day at a time.    Try not to worry too much about things beyond your control.     As much as it has to suck being stuck in there,  at least they are keeping a close eye on you.    Its a good thing they didn't send you to stay with relatives and then they wouldn't have noticed the problems that are occuring now.     Try to stay strong,  we are all here rooting for you!!     Sending T & P's your way for a strong healthy baby and a speedy recovery!   >:D<

jibell

I am sorry that things aren't going as smoothly as you hoped... Glad to hear you and Grayson are being well cared for and that your Dad is on the road to recovery

lovingaddi

Sending tons of prayers for you, baby, and your dad!!
