I got to see my lovely OB today- Dr. Zaid, after running more tests it looks as though the antibiotics are having some affect and the infection is starting to clear. She gave me the option to go home today (despite the 72 hour rule) or go home tomorrow- I said TODAY of course :) it will be nice to be home!!!
What they found:
- They still dont know exactly what kind of bacteria is causing this so they are treating with the most broad range antibiotics possible, they have their hands tied as to what they can use due to the baby.
- I am anemic (weird because they tested for it a couple weeks ago and I wasnt?) nothing serious just can cause lack of energy sometimes, its really low so I will be taking some vitamins when I get home, nothing serious again more of a FYI... It wont hurt the baby
- They did a FFN test (dont know the medical term??) but basically they tested me- wont go into details- and can determine from this test that I have a 80% chance of NOT going into labor in the next 2 weeks!!! yea!!! thats an amazing answer to prayer!! They were a little worried this morning because I was having contractions but now Im good to go (as Scott would say). Basically this is quite reassuring- they baby is staying put for awhile!! 34 weeks is the latest they can run this test so, no telling the future after that but GOOD NEWS!!!!!
- I have had 2 IVS, 4 blood tests, multiple monitorings and am so done with this for awhile!! LOL.. Brett was very sweet and held my hand through quite a few of them (but did NOT want to watch lOL :) )
Overall the kidney thing seems to be clearing up and our spirits are good- it will be wonderful to go home with my husband in a little bit and just be home!! Grandma Myers flys in on Saturday so I will have a wonderful helper- God provided her right at the perfect time!!!!
No bed rest at this time, she just said try to lay as low as possible (Grandma probably wont let me do much of anything LOL so dont worry about that!!- she will probably have to hear it direct from the Dr before SHE takes me off bed rest)
OVERALL
Thank you for your prayers, love and support! Im sorry if I havent returned many phone calls, theres not great service here and Ive been resting a whole lot, Ive been so tired and combined with the pain medication (makes me SUPER loopy!) they give me and the constant monitoring all night I havent gotten a good nights rest yet so Im kinda drained. I will keep updating the blog though as time goes on and hope to call you all back this week as soon as I get a good nights sleep!!!
We are so blessed for great friends and family like you all!!
Just a little note- when it comes to really REALLY important stuff like hospitalizations and baby being born Ive developed a sort of "phone tree" where we will call one person and have that person pass on the news so that we can get urgent news out when we dont have a lot of time- heres the plan:
If something happens we will call (Grandma will be with us):
- Sherrie Bayer: to inform Bretts brothers and sister, the Bayers, Thedas and corresponding people (she can designate as she wills)
- Brenda Myers: to inform my brother and sisters, Grandma Myers family (sisters, brothers, sons), and corresponding people
- Ronnie or Theresa Robinson: to inform Robby grandparents, and half of Mound Valley LOL... just kidding Dad!! I know half of Mound valley will know without anyone calling them :)
- Facebook: this is for friends, we will probably post a status update, something like "urgent update" and thats your cue to check out the blog as we will hopefully have posted with more details
- Close friends: not sure on this?? If someone wants to volunteer then we will take it but if not we will probably just do the facebook thing....
Just make sure if youre in those groups that the right people have your phone numbers so they can get the word out and once we get to a place where we can call text etc we will!! :)
Right now still in the hospital waiting on my handsome prince (Brett) to come on his noble steed (Ford Mustang) to take me to our castle (646 sumner way... lol..)...
Love you all!!
The much better feeling- Michelle

You know you can always use me to update the "friends". I'm so glad you are well enough to go home. I was worried when I read the first blog. I'd call, but I know you're resting and returning other calls, but call when you get a chance or I'll call you in a couple of days. Miss you!
