Rough day today. The GuitarMan had to see the doctor for the fourth time this week. He started experiencing extremely severe pain and swelling following physical therapy yesterday. They x-rayed again and said the bones look okay. The doctor thinks the therapy brought on the symptoms so they said no more PT for the weekend. He thinks it was scar tissue breaking up due to the therapy which is good, of course, but with those pins still being in, it's a problem. Hopefully getting the pins out Tuesday will help.
Yesterday I went to my regular doctor's appt. They could not find the baby's heartbeat. Ultrasound showed that for reasons that are simply unknown right now, the baby has died. If I do not deliver on my own by Monday, then I will be induced. We know that God has a purpose in every life, no matter how short. Right now, there are a jumble of feelings. I'm sure the coming days will be no different. We went to my son and told him in person. He came on home as he wants to be here for all of us, particularly FlowerChild, as she leans on him so much. We haven't told the girls yet as we just aren't sure how to handle that at this point. Today in the South the snow is falling and they feel like it is Christmas. I would rather let them have that and watch their delight as they play. It's not important when they find out so much as it is that I find the right way to tell them. I will probably come at it from the direction of a premature birth or that the baby is sick. Th...
I had scar tissue from foot surgery, but was able to get full mobility again. We'll be praying for you. Can't wait till he gets those pins out.
ReplyDeleteMary,
ReplyDeleteYeah, he has gotten the swelling down and he hasn't had that intense pain today. I am really hoping he will have a quick recovery with minimal scar tissue. Keep those prayers going!
