I haven't updated in forever, and I haven't checked my flist in forever, and life's been crazier than I can explain, and my apologies to you all. I will catch up at some point, and sorry for being such a shitty LJer (and friend
( Read more... )
Thank you, hon. ***hugs*** I'll keep everyone posted. I'm just going to hope and pray for the best because that's all I can do, and hope that everything's going the way it should.
I'm not 100% sure, I think it's that she's _not_ developing, so they're not going to let her stay inside, or SOMEthing!? So - she either needs to keep developing and stay and all of that as long as possible, or else if she's got to come out and say hi to everyone then we're just hoping and praying that she's far enough along that she'll be okay outside on her own.
She's five pounds. So little. I remember Kayley and Kayley was 8 or 9.
Five pounds? That's actally quite good. My boyfriend was born premature, weighed less than five pounds and had a heart defect. And that was 25 years ago.
Please believe me that I when I say I have a positive gut feeling about this. I am keeping both you and your family in my thoughts. I have faith that this will work out.
Wow. You know, now that I think about it, I know twins that were born almost a month and a half premature, and they would have had to have been tiny, and they're fine.
Your positive gut feeling was a lot more accurate than my frayed nerves. The doctor said that Chloe's not in distress right now and they're keeping a close watch on my sister, but the complications are just complications and not signs of something WRONG and so we're all just heaving a huge sigh of relief and waiting to see what happens.
She's going to be a bit early, they think, but just a bit, and in everything else she's OK.
And thank you. A lot. Knowing everyone was sending their love and support made waiting for yesterday's phone call a _lot_ easier.
she's doing better, still some problems but minor, but just knowing it's not the MAJOR WRONG that we were all terrified it might be is such a fucking relief.
I meant to tell you when I saw this yesterday - but just the "when" instead of "if" here was so massively relieving in some weird way I can't explain. Like, it's going to be WHEN she's OK, because her NOT being ok isn't an option. We Have Spoken. :)
update posted. short version: doing better and not in crisis and thank FUCK for that.
*MASSIVE HUGGLES* You know I'm praying for her, honey. And I'll tell Starwatcher when she calls today, too. Hopefully our energies combined will do the trick. ;)
mega-update. see new post. short version: the problems WEREN'T related, they AREN'T inducing my sister in the near future, they're just going to wait and keep an eye on her, but they're thinking that these are in the realm of "complications and not-good pregnancy stuff" and not all out "symptoms of Bad Wrongness".
i really do think everyone's prayers and thoughts and love helped. I don't care if that sounds stupid. I do.

So, the objective is for her to stay in and develop more, right? Just getting my facts straight. Will pray in the mean time.
