I'm Home
Posted: 07-19-04 00:13am

Well ladies im sorry to worry yall like that but im home now. Thank god!! Mackenzie is still in my belly Wink and is still thumpin away in there. Here's what happened. Friday afternoon my headache got really really bad and so I called my doc and she said for me to go to the hospital asap and so I did. We went to the hospital and after an hour or two of being there they transferred(sp?) me to the milwaukee hospital because it was bigger. They took me in an ambulance, one hell of a bumpy ride. At the first hospital they gave me a steroid for mackenzie's lungs so that they would be mature incase if they had to induce me. By the looks of everything they were gonna induce me especially on saturday. Saturday I woke up and I was in sooo much pain. I was having really bad contractions, to the point were I couldnt talk or breath through them and was crying. They had to get me a different bed because my back was hurting really bad and my headache was just a throbbing and nothing was taking it away. They gave me perkiset(sp?) and had me on magnesium-sulfate so I didnt have seizures and was also a prelabor thing thru an iv. I had the iv in my right arm and then my arm started goin numb and felt like it was broken only because the nurse at the first hospital put it in wrong and the medicine was goin to my tissues. So then they put it in my left arm and now that arm is numb and hurtin and I have all these pokes and bruises everywhere on me. Ryan took pictures and videos and will post em. He wants to show yall the heartbeat of mackenzie and my wounds lol also when mackenzie had the hiccups. They gave me both the steroid shots for her lungs so those are mature now and my headache was gone this morning but its back, I just didnt say anything because I wanted to go home. When they took me off of the iv last night and took the cathider thingy out o man when I had to get up I looked wasted. Ryan had to walk me to the bathroom and everything. Im still kinda woosie(sp?) from it and get dizzy after awhile but im all good. I go to see my doc on tuesday for a checkup on how im doing etc. But im off to bed im really exhausted and ill be on tomorrow to tell yall the rest. I love yall and sorry I worried all yall. Ill post tomorrow my full name and hospital ill be devlivering at so yall know ahead of time lol. Talk to yall later. Love yall!!!
~heather ryan and mackenzie

You poor thing! It sounds like you've been through it all! I'm glad you are home and doing well though! Sorry about the iv thing....Some nurses dont have a clue! I refuse to be like that! Haha that swelling and bruising will go away in a few days! Did that mag. Sulfate do wierd things to you...Some people cant handle that stuff! Sometimes it makes you "see things"....Like hallucinate! Hopefully all that didnt happen to you! I hope this is the end of the troubles for you! Just remember its all for a healthy baby, and she'll be here before you know it! Let me know if there is anything I can do for ya! Glad you're home!

I'm so glad you are ok heather. We were worried about you all weekend! And i'm so glad mackenzie is still in there! They may have made her lungs mature, but .God made it 40 weeks for a reason and i'm glad you didn't have her yet! Whew!

Lauren- the mag. Sulfate made me feel all funked up. I thought my bed was to the side but it was straighter than an arrow. My mom was laughin at me. It also made me really hot I could only sleep if I had like 4 ice packs on me and the room ice cold. Poor ryan was freezing in the room when I was bakin. Im hopin all the troubles are away now also, this pregnancy has been up and down the whole time now I just want it to be back up. My stomach looks all funny now because I was laying down for the whole weekend and I cant really eat because I can take one bite of something and be full its really odd. I know that I threw up from something that they gave me and I think it was from the iv, probably that sugar water stuff they had goin in me.
Chanda- im sorry that ryan didnt call as much but he was to worried about me to leave my side. Especially on saturday when I was having really bad contractions. Im glad we got one lamaze class in before I went to the hospital because the breathing that they taught us helped alot and im glad ryan was there to coach me and help me thru it. He would put water on my face and get me ice packs and give me my water and hold the cup for me(my arms were to sore to move). He really made me focus so I didnt go into shock or anything like that.
Erin- I know god made it 40 weeks for a reason but the docs still think she is gonna come early. In the ultrasound she was (caps) huge!! But she looks so beautiful!! I almost cried when I saw her. She was suckin on her bottom lip and awe shes just so adorable I cant wait to show yall what she looks like.
April- trust me it was really scary. But its not over yet. I still have my headache Sad
jen- yes me and ur neice are doing good, other than my headache. Im also sorry that ryan didnt call as much as u thought he would but like I said to chanda he was to worried to leave my side. And cell phones werent aloud to be on, on the 6th floor(llabor and delivery).
Jordan- I go to my doc tomorrow so im gonna let her know that I still have my headache. Hopefully they can just give me a perscription or something because I dont wanna go back into the hospital. The nurse told me to take tylenol extra strength but its not working. Yea my right arm is swallon and really tender from the iv and so is my left arm. I knew somethin wasnt right when I wasnt able to move my arm lol.

Im gonna make a post with all my info in it just so yall know just incase if somethin happens again and so yall can get ahold of me. Just to let yall know if I do go back to the hospital ryan unplugs the cord to the phone when im sleeping so no one wakes me up or takes the phone off of the hook. Wink
love yall and sorry that I worried all of you

Sweety i'm so sorry you are going through a lot. It seems that your not the only one having some difficulties, but it would all be over soon. Think of it this way in the end we will have those gorgeous, precious little innocent eyes looking up at us soon. To depend on us for many years to come. I hope you feel better.

Thanks brenda. I said that to my nurse when she was pokin me with needles 24/7 and givin me the steroid shot(my last one). I said this better be worth it and ryan laughed and the nurse said itll be worth it very soon sweetie dont worry. Your lil girl will appreciate it when u are takin care of her. I just cant wait to hold her and kiss her and just ugh.
