Dirty But Smiling at 22 Weeks

Just a quick update on my girl. I've come home this afternoon because I am in need of a hosing down. My hair is eeewww and I think I am turning into a science experiment. So in deference to the hospital staff, Jenn sent me home. I'll be going back out to Baylor this evening after a bath and nap. She's holding her own and we've added another week. She had to go back down to Labor and Delivery Friday night. Her blood pressure shot back up unexpectedly and she was having difficulty breathing. They were able to get it back down to 148/88 and stabilized. There was some fluid on her lungs, but her body absorbed it without having to use lasix. One of her blood tests showed a problem so she is now receiving an injection twice a day to prevent blood clots. She only had to stay down there overnight and is now back up on the 7th floor. There is still a problem with protein, but not threatening. All in all, she is doing really well and her spirit is high. She is a remarkable young woman of faith and has turned it all over to God. She knows He is holding her and the baby in His mighty hands. In case I've never mentioned it, she is one of the reasons I get up in the morning. She is my baby and I adore her. Those who know us, know the amazing bond she and I share. We're like scorpions...we always travel as a pair. I want to say thank you for praying for her and her little family. You have no way of knowing how much it means to me. I'll try to add updates as I can and I'm going to try and visit some blogs in the next few days. God bless you all! Debbie
