November 7, 2007 we welcomed the newest edition to our family!!! (5 weeks EARLY)
I had been having what I thought was heart burn for a few days and it just seemed to be getting worse and worse so finally I called the Dr. He had me go to labor and delivery...I was afraid that they were going to send me home because I was being a wimp and just had heart burn, come to find out it was more serious than that. When we arrived I told them how I was feeling, they took my blood pressure and a urine sample and that is when the drama began. They told me I had HELP syndrome. My blood pressure was 188/120 (NOT GOOD) and I had 4 plus protein in my urine (I don't really know what that means but it is not good) so anyway the Dr. came to see me, broke my water and we thought that we were just going to have the baby naturally just sooner than we thought (35 weeks) Well...that is not the end of it, after some blood work, they found that I couldn't have an epidural because my platelets were too low, SO.... I had to be put to sleep for an emergency c-section (i was terrified) It all happened so fast! But everything turned out PERFECT! Fisher arrived at 9:59pm weighing 5 lb. 7oz. and measuring 19 inches long. He did spend a while in the NICU but was taken off of his IV and Oxygen very soon. I recovered well and we both got released on Saturday. Only 3 nights at the hospital. Not to bad. Fisher is PERFECT!
