There are a lot of mixed feelings. I've never been so sick or in so much pain in my life. I sleep about 3-4 hours a night now. I'm really not driving at this point. In the past week, I've drove twice and both trips were 5 minutes from the house. I'm terrified of surgery with my blood pressure issues being so low. The doctor said they will closely monitor everything and the entire team will know what's been going on and will be able to administer drugs should I need it to keep me stable. It's a very serious situation. I hope so much that Truette will come out perfect without the need of any medical intervention. I am no where near prepared for her to not be with us the entire hospital stay and leave with us.
On the bright side, it is a 1% chance so there is a 99% chance she will be perfectly fine. We get to meet our little girl on Saturday! It will hopefully make me back to normal with blood pressure issues and help my back a lot. It's the perfect mother's day gift a mom could ask for. I can't wait to have all four of my babies at the hospital on Sunday. The kids are so excited!
We do have a busy week ahead. Gracie will go for one of her therapy evaluations on Monday, Ricky has to drive me to SHSU one day this week, Madi has T ball, I have my appointment on Friday and Brody and Gracie both have their ARDs for next school year on Friday. Ricky also has a very important meeting at work this week. These things have to be done before baby arrives since I won't be able to drive or do much for two weeks after I have Truette.
Madi's T ball game was great. Ricky was helping in outfield and I helped in the dugout. She loves batting but does not like playing when the other team is batting. I don't blame her, it seems pretty boring.
If I don't update before next Saturday, please keep us in your prayers. Specifically that Truette will not have to go to the NICU at all and that I make it safely through surgery.
