44 Days to go!…but at least 2 1/2 more weeks of captivity

24 Mar

That’s right, the groundhogs came out and saw their shadows so we are going to be spending the time to the next milestone in the CPMC Riviera suite. The doctors would like to have a better picture of what is going on in the land of the pre-eclamptic and they need more dots on their graphs to see it. That means they want my lovely wife to be pampered and loved by CPMC nurses until we see the other side of 32 weeks. Although home sounds pretty nice, we have to admit…it is safer in the pen, so don’t be too disappointed.

The good news is that all the labs are looking stable and low levels of the things that they don’t want to see. Jenn’s blood pressure is pretty good (still elevated but stable) and she is currently beating me in our game of Scrabble. She did score extra points for putting down “boredom” and I couldn’t counter with “get over it” because that is more than one word.

 
 

Nurse Susan

We have started taking pictures of our nurses. Meet Susan. She’s like 38 or so, I forget exactly but she can’t be much older than that, look at her. She’s a CPMC nurse and was so incredibly helpful in our first scary days in captivity because she clearly cares so much that nothing seems like its unsurmountable. She’s back today and taking care of Jenn right now, which makes me feel better.
