Today has been uneventful and rather boring. Troy and I got to go home and shower – thank god for being in our own city!!! While we were there I managed to :
1) Shower
2) Check the mail
3) get a gift from Kimberly and from our Relief Society… THANKS LADIES!
4) Do 3 loads of laundry
5) Dry & Fold 2 loads
6) Bake Rolo Cookies
7) Pack to come back to hospital
Order dinner
WOW.. that was a lot to do in 2 hours flat!
Ky has had 8 oz of fluid in the past 8 hours and STILL has not Pooped!!!!!!!! I am just like … REALLLY? SERIOUSLY? Where is the poo? I know its in there! I have seen it with my own eyes! Now… we just have to get it to come out!!!!!!!!! So we are sitting here WAITING and hanging on every grunt and cry hoping that it will THE ONE that produces the poop! Every time Ky crys I am almost elated because maybe that means poo!!! I hope that when she goes to bed tonight and relaxes and is not thinking about it that she will go.
On another note:
It was a pretty sobering night tonight. When we came back today the Child Life girl asked us if we wanted a Christmas Tree since we would probably be here for Christmas. Maybe I am just in denial. My first reaction was to say… oh no.. we will be home for Christmas when in all actuality we may not be. I never imagined I would be that person – the parent whose baby was in the Hospital on Christmas. I remember coming to this very hospital with youth group and thinking how horrible it must be to be stuck in the hospital. Really its not all that bad. Its just different. Suddenly here you are thrust into a world that is very stressful and scary. I would love to be home for Christmas, in my house, with my beautiful babies, and my tree but I will not allow it to ruin my holiday or my morale if we are not. I just want my baby to be okay. I want her to be continent. I want her to be able to poo on her own. She already will have to cath and if she has to do enemas too… that might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for me. I just want her to be normal, healthy, and happy… THAT is what I want for Christmas.
Anyone who can deliver that for me, be they Santa or anyone else in the world can have anything that I own or ever will own. I would give my whole world to have Ky be healthy.
So tonight pray for poo…. again. And pray for peace for our hearts and minds. Pray for JOY that will last us until we can get home and be able to celebrate the season then.
