Hi everyone,
Bad day today. The following is an e-mail I got from Terri. She and her girls really need your prayers:
Quote:
Well, we just got home following a long day at the hospital. Makenzie is now on a ventilator. She's having trouble breathing on her own. Hopefully she'll be off the vent on Wednesday. We're hoping that everything turns out okay, but it's a wait and see situation.
Liana took a bad turn too. Her hemoglobin went very low, and she's having a blood transfusion now as I write this to you. It was a very long day leading up to the transfusion. She wasn't doing very well all day, very weak and tired and I've never seen her so pale before. They started the transfusion around 9:00 tonight, and I stayed about an hour after that to make sure that she wasn't going to have a reaction to it. The whole process will take about 8 hours, and we decided to come home with Sammy and get some rest and go back in the morning.
If she's better after the transfusion, then they won't have to do anything more serious to her. If not, then they will do exploratory surgery to see if she has internal bleeding. They're hoping that this happened because of excessive blood loss during the C-section.
I held up well at the hospital, but I feel like breaking down now. Things can sure change so quickly. Everything is so iffy now. No one has been able to hold the baby and it's a very hard time right now. I don't feel like telling anybody on the boards about this because I'm just so very sad about it all. If you get a chance, Bevrs, would you post and ask for prayers for my babies, please??? It's okay if you tell them what's happened for me. I've already posted telling about her birth and how wonderful everything was.
Sorry to plague you with not so good news. I just hate doing that to you. But, I'm glad to have you to lean on right now. I can write to you and know you are there and supportive.
I'm sorry that I just can't talk about anything else right now. I have a huge lump in my throat, but I'm not able to cry. The heartache is there, but the tears won't come. I think it's because I'm just in shock about it all.
I promise to keep you informed.
Thanks for being there for me, Bev.
Your friend,
Terri
Thanks everyone.
Bev

You have my prayers also. My girls were born at 34 weeks and weighed only 7 pound between them. They were in hospital for almost a month and in humidicribs with lots of things hooked up to them and tubes down their little noses. I'm sure like my girls that both your daughter and your granddaughter will be fine but in the meantime I'll be praying that all goes well and stays well. Look after yourself, sending hugs.
