Emma update:
This morning Emma had a fever of 100.6. A few hours later her temp was down to 100.4. Not enough. Emma has been moved to NICU.
That's not as horrible as it sounds. Providence/St. Joseph's doesn't have a "nursery" per se so all babies that need to be "watched" go to NICU. She is being given intravenous broad-spectrum antibiotics as a pre-emptive measure against possible infection.
As of an hour ago her temp had dropped to 98.9. She looks to be on the mend, but we will most likely not get her home until Sunday at the earliest.
Send the ~ma.
Thessaly writes writes, on livejournal:
...I'm accepted to New England College's graduate program in poetry, with a nice chunk of scholarship money to start my forage for funding. I'll probably start classes in July. It's a low-residency program, so I'll still be here, just overwhelmed.
Anyone with any ideas for where to find another $22,000, please chime in.
WOO AND HOO!!!
Considering the above post, it may be a good time to mention that thessaly has office gargoyles and her latest poetry book, Banjo Variations availible at here .
Princess Miracleborn I update:
Emma's fever...or, as it may be, non-fever (epic ranting tale to come later...watch your newsstands, kids!) has abated muchly from the get-go of her NICU stay. Doctor intends to release her tomorrow. NICU Neo-natal doc has head firmly lodged up Neo-natal doc's ASS as does one or two NICU nurses. (Epic ranting tale COMING SOON! Just in time for Xmas!) So listen for yippees, hurrahs and loud sighs of "Fucking A!" relief come tomorrow between 10 am and 1 pm PDT.
Thanks for the fever-ma. If I could beg some Bureaucratic Sanity-ma, that'd be spifferifous.
We are home.
We've had her home for 4 hours or so and she ain't bleeding!!!
Thanks for all the -ma and love and flowers and GIANT PANDA!!!
What a long, strange trip it's been.
I'm glad Aimee and the clan are home now.
I've posted pictures of Carmarthen, the place I'm staying at here in Wales.
