Hospital, Day Two...

Jessica Again...
After talking with Karen a bit ago, I am convinced... Nothing phases her. Well nothing much at least. I'm pretty sure boredom might drive her batty before the contractions do... Crazy Karen :)

All is well in Karen's gestating world. She's still pregnant, and the trio is still doing well. Nothing too interesting to report, but I felt it necessary to update since I had in fact spoken to the Momma herself. As of about noonish today, things were on the up and up... The pre-eclampsia that we were so fearful of, it seems may be nothing more than a touch of high blood pressure and possibly just some ill related elevated bloodwork. It's funny how that works... You get very pregnant and your body gets all crazy. So for right now, that diagnosis is on the back burner, hopefully not to be brought to the front burner anytime soon. If it IS brought to the front burner, the decision is that the babies will be delivered ASAP. ugh. As for the contractions, the Doctors have also decided that if there is still no sign of toxemia, then the Terbutaline can be started again. This is a wonderful decision, not only for the babes, but for Karen. It sounds as though last night was incredibly difficult... The contractions were laughing at the mere mention of the RN's offers of percocet. In wonderful news however, today is a miraculous milestone of 32 weeks, woo hoo!! Let's all do a little happy dance for this mile marker...

So the plan (as of noon) is this, the Doctor's will sit on Karen, and not send her home. So many factors are (in my mind) weighing in on why they're keeping her... The holidays, J being 4 years old and being home full time for the next few days, being 32 weeks pregnant with triplets, having a cervix less than 2cm, frequent contractions... Do I honestly need to continue this list? Honestly? I thought not...

Regardless, keep everyone in your thoughts... Obviously all the powerful thoughts are working! I also let her know about all of the AWESOME comments you've been leaving for her! Seth will share all the words of kindness when he gets to visit this afternoon... Keep it up fellow bloggers!!
