Day 23

I’m headed back to the doctor tomorrow to do a quick baby check and another blood draw.

We are muddling through this week with the support of friends, as my regular sitters have already taken vacation after only three weeks of work :) But seriously…we hope mom and dad are enjoying Aruba.

For those of you who don’t already know, we have been dealing with another “family crisis” in the midst of all this. Brian’s mom has been in and out of the hospital for the better part of the last two weeks with what they finally isolated as a raging urinary tract infection. Complicating matters, his mother suffers from congestive heart failure, diabetes and a host of allergies to common antibiotics, so attempting to fix one problem has caused several others.

There have been many occasions where his family has reported that his mom might not make it, however, it seems now they finally have things under control and she might be headed to rehab by the end of this week!

This has been extremely difficult on Brian. As most of you know, one of the greatest risks to myself and the baby is infection. So while he has spoken with his mom and dad multiple times each day, Brian couldn’t take the risk of visiting her until the infection was isolated and under control. Nor can any of his family visit here.

I am hoping that at my appt. tomorrow my doctor will give Brian the all clear to visit his mom soon.

Thanks everyone for your continued calls, prayers and support!
