i'm relatively new here so i don't know gerty.. but i am praying for her and her son.. i think that the support and prayers she is gettig from this board is phenomenal.. i pray the best for her and her little one..
I went to see her this afternoon - my mom sat in the car with DD while I went in. (Mom is 80 and I can't really leave her to babysit).
Anyway - they gave her a new bed - YAY! She is a bit more comfortable now. She is leaking a tiny bit of amniotic fluid but the Dr. says that is fine. Her white cell blood count is down so it looks like no infection going on, which is very important.
She is pretty optimistic and is hoping to stay the way she is - inverted - as long as possible so as not to break her water and go into labor. The Neonatologist told them that basically if the baby were born now they wouldn't have any hope - they'd have a few hours with him at best. So, the goal is to keep that sac closed and keep that baby inside.
I told her about all the posts and FMs and she thanks everyone from the bottom of her heart. My eyes were welling up when I told her how caring and kind people are, and what nice FMs they are sending for her.
They are no where near from out of the woods yet -- so far all those prayers are helping, looks like we will need to keep them coming for a while. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for giving us updates! It is wonderful to hear that Gerty is being optomistic! And I am so glad that they got her a new bed!! Still saying prayers and sending hugs her way!!
