I decided to make a door sign for my room, since we’re going to be here for a while. Here’s a picture of the sign I put up yesterday. I also had a diabetes test this morning. Last night they put a sign on my door to inform people that I was not allowed to eat or drink after midnight. I decided to put up my own translation for the sign.
Here’s an update Josh wrote on Tuesday, after our follow-up visit with the perinatologist.
The perinatologist (maternal fetal health specialist), Dr. Goldaber, came by this afternoon.
The sonogram showed that the amniotic fluid is about the same as last Tuesday. Amy’s had a couple decelerations today, and when Dr. Goldaber looked over today’s chart, he said, “Those are some very significant decelerations.” Right now the cord is wrapped around the baby’s neck, which may explain why some of the decelerations today have been deeper than we’ve seen for a little while. The baby is breached, which I suppose doesn’t matter much right now, since a natural birth is out of the question anyway. Then again, if the baby turns and gets her head out of the cord, there might be less pressure on the cord.
Dr. G. said he anticipates an early delivery, and wants the IV port hooked back up now so that Amy will be ready whenever the time comes. But at least she doesn’t have to be hooked up to the whole IV until it’s time to deliver.
Thanks all for praying. Dr. Moseley, Amy’s primary OB, said today, “You have a lot of people praying, right? Well
have them pray that your amniotic fluid goes up.” So there’s one prayer request. And the other is that Baby J can keep cookin’ inside a while longer. And keep praying for Amy’s health.
My dear husband continues to take excellent care of me. Here’s a picture of him traveling back to our apartment to do some laundry and transport some more things back to our new home.
I love you, Girl!!! Glad you’re finding ways to entertain the nurses during your stay! Glad Baby is still in her comfortable home. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
Amy, you’re amazing. Words can’t express it, and I’m super thankful to be your sister. Love you, and I love the updates.
Thank you for the updates. We are praying for all three of you. The Lord has given you a unique ministry opportunity! I know your trust in the Providence of your Savior has made an impact on those who are taking care of you.
Glad to know Baby J is still in the “oven”. We are praying for all of you! Thanks for the continued updates. Love you and Happy Thanksgiving!!
Wow! I didn’t know your due date was 2/19! That’s my birthday!
Good to see that God is continuing to work. Praying for y’all as you go through this.
Love your translation:) Were praying for you. Sounds like your in good hands.
I love it that you’re keeping your sense of humor and that Josh is smiling in that photo as if he’s truly happy to do whatever “jobs” this particular time requires of him — I’d say all of that is a sure sign that the Lord is upholding you both and giving you the grace and peace you need at this time. Hooray for another day in the womb!! Love and prayers, Becky for all 3 of us
I didn’t pass my diabetes test (scored in the 150’s…but it’s not too concerning) – so will have to have some more testing (maybe tomorrow). Glad we didn’t throw the sign away!!!
You make me laugh! So glad that the nurses have a fun room to go into since they have to work the holidays! Love you!
Hey Amy- Glad we can reconnect. I saw on Sam’s FB that you were in the hospital. Sorry to hear that. It seems like despite your circumstances you are having a nice time and trying to keep sane. We’ll be praying for you and baby J.
Amy, nurses love patients like you!!!What a great testimony you both are. Love and lots of prayers Love mrs.H
