Last night was the roughest we've had since our first night here. Nanette started hemorrhaging badly and she was sent to a Labor and Delivery room to be monitored. They gave her Magnesium Sulfate to help slow down labor and for neuroprotection of the twins. She was monitored heavily all night and slept little if at all.
Nanette's uterine activity calmed down within an hour or two of coming to the L&D room. Contractions backed off to 1-2 per hour and the bleeding essentially stopped. So as of this morning, we are scheduled to move back to the "The Suite" in the Women's Special Care Unit. In fact, Dr. Porter just dropped in to say we were free to go (his outgoing comment as he looked at the remains of Nanette's breakfast, "Are those potatoes? I know those aren't eggs!").
Daniel had come up yesterday to have a little sleepover, but we had to call Wade to come and get him at about 10pm. Poor kid! That's twice now that he has had to scrap his plans for a sleepover. We still had a good time watching Sprited Away prior to all the craziness.
Thanks be for small miracles. We're all praying for you, Nanette. Let us know what you and your family need.
ReplyDeleteMagnesium sulphate is the pits isn't it! Glad to hear you made it through this rough day. Love you both.
