Melissa looks great and feels more normal every day. She is quite restless to get out of the hospital. Most of her fluid swelling is gone, her arms look like a heroin addict, but other than that she looks as beautiful as one can get in a hospital gown.
Her kidney’s are within the normal range. She is just two points off where she was prior to the birth. Her blood is thinning well and she should be regulated or “therapeutic” within a day or two on the oral blood thinner. They make some tweaks here in there, but in general she is staying in the range they would like her and it seems to be solving the clot danger and kidney problems.
Her last hurdle is to keep her blood pressure in check. For the most part it is doing well, even hits normal levels, but once or twice a day it spikes and they have to restart the blood pressure medicine fed through IV. If she can get off the IV blood pressure medicine and remain therapeutic on the blood thinner she can come home as soon as Thursday. Before she leaves they will schedule an appointment to come back to do a scan for blood clots and take out the basket they put in 3-6weeks.
The boys are doing well. They seem a little up and down from day to day, but they tell us they are doing great, very normal, and right on schedule. Melissa usually can go down and hold them once a day for an hour or two, but only when she is off the IV blood pressure medicine.
Thank you all for your love and concern. Each night when I leave the hospital, I kneel at her bedside and we express our gratitude for all of your kindness and prayers.
