I checked into my lovely "confinement" room last night around 1am. Yes, back in the hospital. I used the word confinement because that is literally the terminology used by the insurance company in the letters we receive with regards to my stay.
As always, I had another bleed which landed me here. This one was not quite so scary but there was a pretty good quantity. I am officially anemic and my blood count dropped to the lowest level they would like to see me at (any lower and they would have delivered the baby last night). I did get an amazing room however, a corner "office" that I can see Water Tower Place, Michigan Ave., Lake Michigan to the East, Lakeshore Drive.... it's quite beautiful actually... I'll post pictures when I can!
My revised "plan" for baby Skinger is as follows:
Monday, Nov 24th - I am scheduled for an amnio so they can check the baby's lungs. I will be 34 weeks, 5 days.
Tuesday, Nov. 25th - IF (big word here!) the lungs look ok, they will deliver the baby on this day! Please say prayers, send good wishes or do whatever you think works to give this baby a chance to be born on the 25th!!!!
"IF" the baby's lungs do not seem well enough developed, then we will be hosting Thanksgiving in the Prentice cafeteria AND I will be here an additional 1-2 weeks and deliver the 1st or 2nd week of December.
That's it! If you want to reach me, my cell phone is best and my address is below.
