Thing are no worsen and maybe a lil better. They have stabilized my blood pressure which is a good thing. We did get confirmation from a test today that i do have PIH (Pregnancy Induced Hypertension-Preeclampsia). That is a lil scarey because it is hard to control and even harder to predict. They are concerned because my kidneys are not functioning very well but they are hopeful it is from my blood pressure being so elevated for so long and that it willl improve over the next day or so. The baby is a fighter. I am still having contractions every 15-20 min and her heartrate decreases after each contraction. They say that she can handle it now but they do not want her heartrate to go any further down. They are gonna do an ultrasound to look at her amniotic fluid tomorrow morning. We are hoping that it has increased and not decreased as that will put her under more stress. They have told us to be prepared at any point for an emergency csection. They are monitoring my blood work for kidneys and liver really closely and that could also mean one. If the babys amniotic fluid decreases anymore or if her heart rate decreases, that also could mean a section. We are trying everything to put off delivery for as long as possilble. They are not being very optimistic about things but WE MADE IT 48 HOURS so the babys lungs will be more mature and that will help her chances. We met with the head doctor of the NICU today...that was scarey hearing everything that we are possibly instore for. We asked today if there was any chance we might get to come home on medicine and monitor from there...the doctor was not optimistic. My doctors have told us to just take it hour by hour and not plan anything. We could have a seciton tomorrow or I could still be laying here 3 weeks from now..but believe me I would not complain... the baby needs the time. Brian & Sydney have been great. Sydney went home Tuesday night and slept but since then she has been here nonstop. She spent the last two nights up here with me. She has been a lot of help and has really taken everything pretty good considering. We have all has our moments of emotional breakdown but I think as a whole we are hanging in there. Please keep praying for our lil baby & for time. Time is the best thing for our little one to give her more of a chance for maturing.
