One week ago tomorrow, Kayla was admitted to NARMC for observation and IV, trying to pump massive amounts of fluid into her. Monday, March 7th, she was scheduled for her regular check-up. She had gone to the emergency room Saturday night because she felt or had the sensation that her water broke. The ultrasound done Monday morning showed very low amniotic fluid; measuring 6 cm and she should be measuring 15 cm; very critical. She had to stay overnight in the hospital and they were hoping to see improved fluid levels Tuesday morning. That did not happen. She was dismissed as there was nothing that could be done. Basically, the doctor sent her home to wait for the on set of labor or for an infection to develop. Tuesday night when she got home, she started leaking even more. Therefore, her doctor has order her to 100% bed rest. She can only get up to go to the bathroom and to go get something to eat. Having an 18 month old at home makes this very difficult at best. Add Chase's work schedule to that and it makes it even more difficult. So every night last week, I would go to her house and help out with Drew. Feed them, bathe him and put him to bed. Friday night little Drew started running a fever. Kayla is going absolutely stir crazy and wanted to get out of the house so she and Drew came and sat at my house yesterday. He so didn't feel good. And he wasn't any better this morning. She wanted me to come and help Chase and we ended up taking him to Mediquick. He had a raw red sore throat and had upper respiratory junk. He was so pitiful. So I ended up spending most of the day trying again to help out with him.
I was able to snap a picture or two yesterday. In this one, Drew is learning to hold a pen and learning to make marks on paper. I actually wrote his name and said D R E W, Drew. And he said his name for the first time.
In this one, I was trying to get a picture of his beautiful eyelashes.
