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))

Ohhh no, what a difficult time the past few weeks have been for you and your family. Do your best to stay strong, I'm sure your dad can feel your presence. Here's hoping he will pull through. Sending loads of hugs your way.
