Updated 3/12/10 at 5:30 pm Good Morning! We have a few things going on over here that we wanted to share. As much as we had hoped that today would be the day I got to go home, it is not. Looks like I will be here at least one more day. They cut my [...]
There are times in our lives when God reaches down to answer our prayers and we get a glimpse into the compassion that He has for us. Sometimes those prayers are big – for a healthy baby that can overcome being born into this world earlier than expected. And sometimes those prayers haven’t even really [...]
This post has been updated. Hey there, I just wanted everyone to know that all is still well; both with Heather and Eliana. The team @EastTNChildrens are still working on Eliana’s lung development but they’ve been telling us all day long that she’s been doing very well. There was a bit of a “moment” a [...]
Well, this has been an eventful afternoon. Most of you were already aware that Eliana’s weight wasn’t really where it needed to be after this morning’s ultrasound. Over the last two weeks, the doctors were hoping for about at least 1/2 lb of growth. Eliana, however, weighed in at 2 lbs., 6 oz. when she [...]
We had our growth ultrasound today and unfortunately she did not hit the weight we were hoping she would hit. She needed to gain 1/2 lb. (8 oz) and only gained 6 oz. I know two ounces doesn’t seem like much, but at this size, it makes a big difference. We did talk with the [...]
Well, despite the change of location, we were still able to have the baby shower this past weekend. I cannot thank everyone enough for coming out here and celebrating Eliana with us! It was such a nice time for us and a much needed escape for me. I appreciate all of those who planned this [...]
Having a good morning so far! Blood work from today was good – WHOO-HOO!! My blood pressure was 115 / 73 this morning at 8:00 am – WHOO-HOO!! Feet have continued to stay not swollen and no other symptoms going on! DOUBLE WHOO-HOO!! Doctor said I was doing a good job at keeping her in, [...]
As of right now, things still look good! My blood pressure was good this morning at 8:00, as well as last night at midnight and 4:00am. I was having some issues with it because I would tense up when they would come in to check it, but once I relaxed and well, made myself breath, [...]
Last night Jason and I were talking and I had mentioned that I just don’t know how people get through something like this on their own. My days aren’t so bad, but I also know that I am going to have someone here with me in the evenings, and that really helps! I can’t imagine [...]
We’re still here and all is well. Blood pressure is still holding steady – it varies a little, but has not gotten back up to a “critical” level. We did get to speak with a doctor from Children’s Hospital today and that went well. He really just came in to talk us through what to [...]
