Who knew that Hillary and Manny Ramirez had so much in common? They both tested positive for steroids, both like to wear the occasional do-rag and neither are allowed to go to Dodgers Stadium until July.In Hillary's case at least, the steroids are a good thing. By holding on until 9:30 this morning, the drugs that Hillary received two days ago have been able to have their full positive affect on Luke.
Late Wednesday night, nurses weaned Hillary off all medicine to see how she would respond. Hillary was excited to be free from the tubes, but by morning the contractions had sped up and she was put on a
new drug that slowed things down, but gives her the shakes and the chills in the process.In the afternoon, the kids came again and, as per Danny's idea, threw her a "suprise party" (she knew they were coming), complete with balloons and party favors.
But all in all, this was a downer of a day for Hill as she went from thinking she could be going home to realizing she might be here a long time. She misses not being able to be a mom and even though she put on a good face the first three days, she's not a big fan of all the poking and prodding.
Still, we are blessed that the steroids are taking hold, that Luke is sitting tight, and that we're in truly great hands.
Keep the prayers coming...
If it is of any consolation, I went throught the same thing with daughter Trisha (child #2). Although it felt like an eternity that I spent in the hospital, Trisha was born at full term and is now a wonderful 30 year old woman. That time in the hospital is long forgotten. I hope you have the same experience. I know that every day in the womb is a little better for Luke. I continue to pray for a safe delivery for Hill and a healthy baby. Lots of love, the Harts
ReplyDeleteI had premie boys 6 weeks early (now 15 years old) & 8 weeks early (now 9 years old). It is scary going through it, but I agree that once they get past the danger, you don't often look back, except to realize the miracles they are and give thanks to God for them! (We are friends of the Weinkopfs.)
ReplyDeleteOur prayers are with you!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to see that your once blank wall is being covered with beautiful homemade art. The look on Danny's face is priceless! Hang in there! You all are in our prayers
ReplyDeleteChin up today! No doubt this time of waiting and hoping is such a trial, but perhaps God will use this period to help Hillary rest up for 3 young ones! She'll need the strength! :) Blessings to you all--I will pray for the little joys of every day, that they might become more apparent and quite joyful!! xoxo
