Hi ladies. DH bought me a laptop so I can be more comfortable in the hospital. I want to send each and one of you a hug and Omg so much heartfelt thanks.
I am hanging in there. My digestion if possible is almost standstill if thats even possible so I am really uncomfortable. There are days I wish to die and give up but then kicks I find strength somewhere. Taking it one day at a time. 12-13 weeks to go in here but I cant dwell. We are into our 24th week so my docs are giving a sigh of relief that we made viability. I actaully had the talk any mother would dred-the termination talk becuase she was two weeks behind schedule(avg is 1 week) and if the feeding tube didnt work she could be small and not thriving due to a chromosomal disorder etc-I cant even get into the contents of the conversation so I wont cause it makes me cry to remember the what ifs.
. I made Dr. Klein from Madonna smile when we had our scan on Friday-he and Dr. Goldsein I think gave sighs of relief. The flow to and from the placenta went from being nonexistant in some areas to back on target in 2 weeks. Baby put on weight and is now in the 31st percentile instead of 17th percentile. She gained weight and its to the point that my tummy is stretch so tight you can feel her outline this early. OUCH. She kicks so hard and at times her butt sticks out-I didnt know what it was until the technician explained it was a tushie. She still showes a small density onher heart but they say its common and not worried-thats th eproblem with scans that are too in depth sometimes. TMI to make u worry.
We are a case study because my gastroparesis is rarely this sever unless diabetic (I am not) and there are few documented cases of pregnant women with it so the docs (including Madonna) are a bit awed . I have blood drawn every 2 days and accuchecks (like a diabetic) every 12 hours to ensure I am nutritionally sound. I am seen everyday by my GI docs and my Dr plus the Fetal specialists. The nurses are wonderful and I have NO ROOMMATE and they will fill every other bed before I have one :)
I will check in daily or at least when I feel in good spirits cause I miss u all.
I am so happy to hear that things are improving for you. Keep fighting, your strength is inspiring Your baby sounds like a fighter too, just like you. Thank you so much for the update, I find myself thinking of you and wondering how you are
