Guess what? In 12 hours Baby Noah will be one week old!!!! yay! He is doing so well, he eats very well, always wants more, and he sleeps so good. When you feed him, he has the sweetest little look on his face that says "thank you for feeding me momma..." it melts my little heart. I love him so much!!!
On another note, my blood pressure hasn't normalized. So I'm on medication number 3 that they've tried. This last one seems to be the most effective, but it may not be safe for breastfeeding. They're looking into it, I almost fed my baby breast milk after I'd taken it. I asked the nurse, and she told me she wasn't sure. You would think that after her walking in to check my blood pressure while I was pumping, she would have the common sense to say, I wonder if this medicine is safe for baby. I was a little PO'd by that. But I'm just glad it was caught before the baby was given my milk. So for now I have to pump and dump, which hurts so bad. That stuff's liquid gold in case you hadn't heard! Grrr...
So, weekly report. Baby is great, he might be able to go home by the end of the week!!!!! Momma is still being "practiced" on to find the right medicine and dosage. Hopefully this will get resolved soon. Oh yeah, I got my staples taken out today. That was a little uncomfortable. But I'm glad they're out.
The bad news, (yes there is some) my mom had a ruptured aneurysm friday night. They came by to see me and the baby spent some time here and went home. She said she would come by the next day to be with me. Went home, was washing the dishes and started throwing up and losing feeling of her legs and hands. They called 911 the ambulance came and got her and she had to have emergency surgery to drain the blood from her head. Scary scary stuff. I was given ambien that night. Carlos was upset that my dad called and said something knowing that my blood pressure is high and I'm in a delicate state right now. But at least if anything were to happen to me I'm already in the hospital. And I would rather know whats going on than not. 48 hours plus went by after the surgery and she's starting to move her legs and stuff which is awesome! Thank you God!!! We had like all the churches in the city praying for her. She does have an infection, she was running a high fever. They said they would tell us more about that later. But her temp came down and her blood pressure and heart rate normalized. We have the best medical care in the world here. People come from all over the world to get treated and surgery and stuff here. So it gives me a little peace but what gives me hope is that I know God is in control. Always has been, and He loves my mother more than I can understand or know. He's allowing things to happen for a reason and He has not nor will He ever forsake her. He has a plan and although this is tough and scary, I trust Him. He has our best interest in mind alllllll the time. I know everything is going to be ok.
So that's all for now. When I get home I will post pictures since the internet connection here at the hospital is very limited. I can't get on facebook or youtube and it wont let me add pictures here for some reason. Boo!
Till next time :)
