Yes, I was back in the hospital again this week. I'm starting to think that it will be my home away from home! I went to the dr's on Thursday and was not doing real well. My blood pressure was up , I was nausuas and my swelling was pretty bad. The dr sent me over to labor an delivery for monitoring and blood work that ended up in me staying! Oh yeah and of course Eddie had to fly to Houston on Friday all day so he was not even able to stay with me . We were really afraid from the way the dr's were talking that the were going to take little Elyssa but things worked out that they did not have to.
I did discover that I have developed another issue in this pregnancy during this stay. They did 3 sets of blood work, the first 2 sets came back fine and I thought they were going to send me home then an hour later they came back in and told me the 3rd set had some issues, it appears that my liver enzymes and creatinine was all screwed up. He thought there was a problem with my liver and gall bladder. They did an emergency sono of my gall bladder and liver and they came back ok. It appears I may have the "beginning" of colitis/gallbladder issues. After some more tests everyone decided I was ok to go home and that they would not do anything till after the baby was born unless it started affecting me in other ways....How about that luck?? The dr put me on bedrest for the weekend / till my next appointmetn and so that we can see how things are going to work out. I feel miserable, I was really starting to have regular "small" contractions while in the hospital... I did not feel them but they were pretty steady. I'm told it is normal now that I am so close to delivering, my body is preparing for delivery... doesent it realize this is a scheduled c-section for April 13th??? I keep telling little Elyssa she needs to hold out for us... I really want her daddy here for the birth but it is starting to look like there is a 50/50 chance she is going to come on her own free will now! We just keep praying she stays in there, but like I said I am miserable. I feel really bad, my stomach is just twisted and I cannot get comfortable at all... I really, really am miserable right now!
Well I am off to try to get some sleep.... good thing they gave me a prescription for Ambien or I'd never get any sleep anymore... aahhhh, the joys of pregnancy right? LOL... it is almost over, it is almost over... it is almost over....
