Change In Plans
Before anyone gets to excited Crichelle and the babies are okay. We had a little bit of a scare yesterday that appears to have changed a few plans.
Crichelle woke up on Wednesday and felt as though she had to go to the restroom. When she went to the restroom she could never get any relief. After waiting for the pain to go away she decided to call the doctor and they wanted her to come in to check and see if she had a bladder infection. Crichelle's mother went over to pick up Crichelle to take her to the doctor. Crichelle had a lot of problems walking, but the pain subsided when she was sitting.
Upon arriving at the hospital I met them outside with a wheelchair to help with the transport to the third floor. Once we checked in, Crichelle was asked to give a urine sample. This is when everything changed.
As Crichelle was attempting to give a urine sample, she felt something different. She immediately yanked the emergency cord in the restroom and almost pulled it out of the wall. As she was pulling the cord, I was in the hall flagging down nurses. The nurses rushed in and came to the conclusion that it was her water that was trying to come out. Once Crichelle knew it wasn't Jordan or Jaxon she let that happen.
The nurses then called for a stretcher and rushed Crichelle down the hall. After it was all said and done our doctor showed up and we had an ultrasound. Everything turned out to be okay. The boys hearts were still pumping and it just appeared that Jordan's sac had ruptured. Everything else looked okay.
Now it is basically a game of wait and see. Crichelle is taking medicine that has stopped the contractions that she originally thought was her bladder. She was also given steroid shots that were used to increase the strength of the boys' lungs. Lastly she is on antibiotics that will help keep an infection from setting in.
Basically, we are at the hospital until we deliver. We will not deliver as long as Crichelle's body can hold the boys in and as long as there is no infection. This could be days, weeks, or months. We are wishing for the later. The longer the boys can stay inside of Crichelle, the more they can grow in their natural environment. If we do end up having to take them earlier we are at a great facility that is setup to handle things like that and we have been instructed on all the things that will and/or could happen.
