the next day



Last night was rough. mishael's O2 levels continued to drop throughout the night. Baby was doing a little better but I was just really concerned about Mishael and knew something was really wrong. The dr just kept saying he wanted to wait. They kept doing tests but when her 02 would't stay up on 100% 02 mask she called Dr Utter. He came in at 4am and they did a CT scan to check for blood clots and shut off the Mg gtt. All her tests looked negative and by morning her 02 was better and she is mostly off the 02. They did another Ultrasound this am and no changes with baby B. She is still not doing good but at this point its better to keep her inside as long as Mishael is stable. Cody is arriving today at 1pm. Mishael is holding up well, she said shes waiting until Cody is here to fall apart. I went to the store and bought some blankets for the girls i wanted them to have something when they are born. Sarah is going to sew them some outfits to wear when they are born.

  1. I'm so sad for the sorrow your family is going through right now. I cannot even imagine it. What a heart-breaking time. I'm praying for all of you.

  2. Maria, the blankets are beautiful. No words are adequate, just know that you and your family are in my prayers.

  3. Please let Mishael know that the Moms With Tots group is praying for her. My friend's husband talked to one of Mishael's brothers and said that she had a blood clot in her lungs? Is this true? We will be praying without ceasing.

  4. I know what you are dealing with. TTTS is horrible, and if you or anyone in your family wish to talk I am here. Fell free to give them my #.

  5. No she does not have a blood clot. Thankfully! The CT scan ruled that out. She is doing much better today. The Magnesium IV was causing breathing problems so when they turned it off she improved gradually until she was taken off the oxygen by this afternoon. The nurses and Drs have all been wonderful.
