We were so ready. We arrived at the hospital at 5:30 this morning. They put me in a room, took some blood, put my IV in and wheeled me down to the OR at 7:30. The anesthesiologist asked me a few questions and when I told her about the Factor V Leiden and that I took my last Lovenox injection Tuesday night, she said they would need to do a blood test to see if my blood was coagulating before she could do the spinal. Forty-five minutes later they came in and told me that my blood was still too thin and it was too dangerous to do the c-section today. So we have been rescheduled for tomorrow morning. They are keeping me at the hospital tonight to keep an eye on Ella. I am extremely disappointed and honestly, just super impatient to have Ella here in my arms. So we wait some more. I guess she really wanted her birthday to be March 18th, not the 17th. She doesn't want to share with St. Patrick. :o)
We will hopefully have some wonderful pictures to share with you tomorrow. In the meantime, pray that I get some rest (I slept NONE at all last night). I'm pretty exhausted physically and emotionally right now.
I prayed constantly last night and first thing this morning. I'll continue to pray for a smooth delivery TOMORROW ;) and for a restful day for you today.
ReplyDeleteLove!
I've been praying continually for you & Ella... I'm sorry you guys are still waiting. I'm so thankful that she'll be in your arms soon. Praying that you'll be able to get some rest today... “Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken. (Psalm 62:5-6) Hugs & prayers.
ReplyDeleteno kidding you are upset! Praying that this day will be bathed in prayer and peace being pregnant one more day. I would have given anything to be pregnant even one more day with my preemie. You are going to be so BLESSED tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I started praying at 7am!!! I'm sure it is soooo difficult to wait, but she will come out! :) Praying now that you are able to get some great rest today and tomorrow will be here in no time! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'll keep you & Ella in my prayers! I can't wait to see pictures! (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteI was just getting ready to say that she didn't want a St. Patty's day birthday! I'm glad they did the test though and caught that before doing the surgery and having something worse go wrong! I'm sorry you have to wait, though!
