VERY excited today to share that my dear sister Pam who has been on strict bed rest for 20 weeks is HOME and NOT on bed rest!!! May God be praised for the wonderful change in her previa! She no longer has any previa and has been cleared to go ahead and wait for her baby to be ready to come on his own. She doesn't even have to see the high risk doctors anymore! Last week we didn't think there was any chance of her going home without a baby, but wow, things sure can change! She is up and about, looking really good, but tires out really quickly due to the amount of muscle tone she lost in the last 20 weeks. Chantelle is there with her now to help out with Dakota when he gets home on Thursday and for a while after baby is born. She is allowed to stay here until Mom and Dad come in March, so she'll also be here when our baby is born to help out. We're hoping that because she'll be here, we won't have to farm out the kids either. :)
We also had a follow-up appointment for Lucas to check his ears, and even after being on antibiotics for 10 days, he has too much fluid, so we have been referred to an Ear, Nose, Throat specialist and are looking at the possibility of getting tubes put in. That appointment isn't until the end of this month, and I'm hoping that we can get the surgery (if it's deemed necessary) done before this baby comes. I'm REALLY hoping that he starts feeling better and acting more like himself again. Right now, his hearing is a concern because of the amount of fluid, and we know that having to repeat yourself 4-5 times to get him to hear you is not normal, neither is him talking really loudly all the time, or being really whiny and crying a lot. His doctor said that if we think he has an ear infection just to call and he'll order the prescription without us having to make a trip in to see him. I'm praying it doesn't happen, but with the amount of fluid, I would not be surprised either if it did. When his eardrum burst, we were actually dealing with the "real" Lucas for a couple days. He was happy, playing nice and not saying "What mom?" constantly. I don't want him to have to burst an eardrum for him to finally feel good, so if the dr thinks the tubes will be a help, I'll be happy to have him "back" for longer than 2 days. :)
That's about all the news for now. It's already been a busy week and it's only Tuesday, so I'm not sure if I'm going to mess up Kimberly's nap time 3 days in a row tomorrow to go to Ladies Bible Study, as much as I'd love to go. There might only be one or 2 more that I'm able to make before the baby is born, so I'll have to see how the kids are when they get up tomorrow morning.
Hope you all are having a good week so far, and continue to have a good one!
