Hawaii Babies

My dad

Many of you I'm friends with on FB so I won't rehash what's going on here except that my dad is in the ICU on a ventilator with a poor prognosis (per the nurse), he's not doing better at this point he's just holding steady. All of a sudden he got the hives and a fever and then things progressed from not so good to terrible...  My aunts in texas are both on their way (his two sisters) to be there to support my step mom. My mom and step dad and my brother have been there most of the night and day. Many of you know my aunt died suddenly last week. This has been a REALLY hard pregnancy for me because of all of the nervousness about losing the baby before this one, morning sickness, pains, raging nightmares and now this. I'm 38 weeks and 4 days, I put a call into my OB but the nurse got on the phone and said "we REALLY don't want you to travel or try to leave just use your coping skills and try to relax"... I wanted to scream "relax? I'm F***ing 38 weeks pregnant and my dad is touch and go lady!" but i didn't, instead I just cried my eyes out.. I know there's nothing I can do there but there's nothing I can do here either... I just want to be there to see him, to touch his face or hold his hand... Please pray for me... I'm not even sure if I delivered today that I could leave the state with a newborn in the next few days... 

Re: My dad

  • I am so sorry, hon.  I can't even imagine what you are going through. You know your dad completely understands and knows you are thinking of him & wanting to be there.  You & your family are in my thoughts & prayers.  Despite how unimaginable and hard as this is, you will get through all of this. Take care of you & your baby and everything else will work out. 

    Lots & lots of hugs.

  • I have tears reading this, I can't even imagine this going on while dealing with 38 weeks pregnant :(  Like Vanessa said, your Dad & family know you would be there in a heartbeat if you could.

    Stay strong for you and Grayson!  I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that everything turns out ok. ((hugs))

  • I'm so sorry you're going through this right now. I mean, it wouldn't be easy if it was any other time, but especially now.  I'm just so sorry.

  • Sarah, I am so terribly sorry that this is happening. I cannot even imagine what you must be feeling. I am sending you thoughts and prayers...I hope, at the very least, you can take some time from work right now so you can rest when you need to, cry when you need to and just be with Ryan and Bella and the support network you have near you.
  • Oh honey...I am so, SO sorry. I'm sure your dad understands and knows how much you love him, and that he wants you to take the best possible care of his soon-to-be-new-grandson. I know how awful it is not to be able to be there when someone you love is in that situation (I've had it happen twice since I moved overseas), and how helpless and sad you feel. I'm here if you need to talk or vent or anything else. (((big hugs)))
  • Oh no, I'm so sorry =( I can't imagine what it's like to go through all this, and while 38w pg...Lots of hugs your way and I will be keeping you and your family in my t&p.

  • Oh, Sarah :(  I just checked your FB page to see if there was an update.  I've been thinking of you and keeping your Dad in my thoughts.  I can't imagine going through anything like this while so close to your DD.  The mind is powerful... I know your Dad can feel your presence/prayers regardless of where you are.  Big, big hugs to you. <3
