After a 5 day stay in the hosptial, Karry and I are so glad that the doctor's appointment yesterday landed us back at home and not back to Baylor Medical! My cervix is short and softening and I have been having contractions. I was given steroids at the hospital to help the boy's lungs develop and medication to help stop the contractions. I am pretty stable now at home with a monitor. I monitor every morning and afternoon for contractions and electronically send the information to a company. A nurse calls within a few minutes to discuss the results of each monitoring session. My threshold for contractions is 5 in a 60 minutes session. I have had anywhere between 2 to 10 contractions in a hour. I have had to start taking something to help me sleep and medication every 4 hours to stop contractions. I am hoping that all of this will buy us at least 26 more days. If the boys are born now, they will be fine but will have to spend time in the NICU. I really want to take them home with me when I leave the hospital, so I keep telling them that no matter how crowded they feel it is more comfortable where they are now!
Poor little boys,they don't have any shoes!!! I think we need a picture of you showing us just how big the boys are!!! Praying for 26 more days!
ReplyDeleteI am going to buy the boys the "Shoes Under" for each of them to slide under their cribs. Thinking about you all the time!!!
