"A" had an ok night as far as resting, besides worrying about her husband "J" sleeping straight up in the chair beside her bed. She was able to get a little bit of rest, and is hoping to get a little more tonight (they are now in a bigger room with an extra "twin sized bed/couch").
The culture came back for the Lung Development test and the baby's lungs are not fully developed, but because of the risks of infection "A" is facing, she will be induced later this week. She will be 34 weeks and according to the Drs. at UAB as long as her blood pressure is remaining stable and a fever does not develope, she will proceed with a natural delivery as she had orignally planned.
"Baby L" is head down and still doing the wiggly dance inside of her mommy's nice warm belly despite the missing fluid. Because of the lack of fluid around her she now has less room to move, but is still moving frequently to let her Mommy know that she is A o.k. Her heart rate is good, so for now we're just waiting for her to grow for a few more days before she arrives.
So...what was so urgent here in Dothan, in Birmingham is just a typical case that they see every single day. We're feeling alot better about the situation. The Drs. and nurses are all very reassuring to "J" and "A", and are helping them both to feel more confident about "Baby L's" delivery.
Do any of you moms out there have any suggestions for "A" and "J" as they bring a premie into the world or for the delivery?
