- Henry has messed-up plumbing. His kidney's are full of fluid, one of the tubes from kidney to bladder are split in two, and there is a blockage in his bladder, keeping the flow from functioning properly
- I SHOULD be able to wait to give birth until he is due -- as long as his fluids are looking good. If his fluids (amniotic) begin to decrease too much, he may need to come out early
- I will be meeting with the Doctor, often, along with a urologist, and another specialist
- There is a likely chance Henry will need surgery after birth. They will do tests on him right after he is born, and then determine the plan of action
- After birth, surgery, etc., Henry should be good to go with no problem
- It will be hard, but it will be OK
Right now I feel tired. Super tired. I wake-up in the morning, and I just want to lay back down. I know my fatigue has to do with stress. (Not just baby stress, a few other things, too.) I tried to go for a walk the other day, but it ended up putting a lot of pressure on my lower-region, and it just hurt. Normally walks/being outside is how I relieve pressure, but right now I just can't do it and I don't even want to!
I hope the next few months go by quickly . . . my grumpy is taking over my happy. And I really don't want to look 7-10 years older.
Thanks for letting us know.
ReplyDeleteI hope it all goes well.
If another person says to me 'not long now' I'm gonna punch them.
I'm glad they were able to tell you in more detail whats wrong. I hope you feel better soon. I know how it is to want to go for a walk, but feeling to tired and over whelmed to do it. Love you and thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteThe comment above was from me. Love you, Beth
ReplyDeleteHey pioneer woman, just remember you are super strong. Look at what you have already accomplished in your life. You will arise even stronger after baby Henry is born. And, I promise, you will be more grateful for your strength and health than ever before. I know, as it says in: Alma 26:27, if we are patient in affliction, the Lord will give us success.
ReplyDeleteI know both you and Beth have a lot on your plates right now. But, I know how faithful both of you are. I know how firm your testimonies are. I know you will endure this well and both of you will be able to smile more to take off those 7-10 years Sammi was referring too. She is so right. I just hope Oil of Olay Total Effects 'totally' works. Works for Mom! She looks 50 or younger. Right, Dad?
Love you,
Kary
Bummer. Way to understand what's going on, though. When we were having tests done on Jonah, I felt like all the information they were throwing at me was going in one ear and out the other. Are you seeing Dr. Fairfax, by any chance? That's who we saw.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I wish things were going perfectly for you, but I'm glad to hear it's going to be okay. Can't wait to meet this Henry.
