Well, where to start. Wednesday, June 24th was a normal day and turning out to be a great evening. Floyd made plans to have a close friend and his fiance over for grilling and to watch the LSU baseball team beat Texas Longhorns for the NCAA championship. Food was smelling great, Lacie and I were have a great conversation, and I took a potty break and then it all went wrong.
Started bleeding and called the hospital right away. Floyd started packing and Lacie and Reggie helped by cleaning up the food and stuff. Well 20 minutes passed and no call from the on call doctor, so I called again and they transfered me to the nurses station. They supposedly told me to go to New Iberia emergency room, but I missed that, so we headed to Lafayette, 30 mins away. I started getting nervous because I had heard the nurse telling someone in the background that I was going to New Iberia, so called again on the way and that nurse told me to come to Lafayette. So now I'm starting to worry about Renee and making sure that I feel her move.
Got to the hospital and started checking in and I was looking at the pictures on the bulletin board and thinking this woman needs to hurry up!!!!!! So I kept looking and trying really hard to feel Renee move, but then while searching pictures I noticed a red cardinal sitting on top of the bulletin board and I knew she was okay!!!! Grandma is everywhere!
So it is Saturday and I'm here until tomorrow or Monday. Bleeding has stopped and no more contractions, but I had high blood pressure when I got there, so they tested me for preeclampsia and I have a mild case of that now too!!!!! WHAT ELSE? So now we will be visiting the Dr. 2 times per week and hope that the placenta previa moves more and the preeclamsia doesn't get any worse. I will definitely have her the beginning of Aug though, and if she is healthy, then I'm okay with that! So Grandpa Steve, be ready for a great birthday present!!!
I've had a few visitors and Floyd has stayed every night. I think Grandpa is with me too, because I happen to pick the flying pig when I play monopoly on pogo game network, and most of the time we win. Really big too! Grandpa would be here playing games to keep me occupied and laughing.
Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts, and only 5 to 6 more weeks of boredom, and I do hope it is that long!!!!!
Thank you for always being there and cheering me on! I don't ever remember a time that you missed a volleyball or a basketball game, and I know there are so many pig shows and horse shows that you were at. I know who my biggest fans are!!!! I love you tons.
You are sometimes a man of few words, but you always new what to say and when to say it!!! He kept his mouth clean when scolding me on the discovery of my belly-button ring, which was outed by my 3 year old niece. Or the time when we were traveling to the tree nursery for work and both singing "Take this job and Shove It". Next one was the last thing he said to me when I was packed and ready to get on the road for Texas, "I'm not worried about your moving, I'm worried about you and spending Money", is what he said. Now, he is making sure that I'm keeping still and in my chair so he can see his new grand daughter, Renee!
