Her pain was moderate but she hadn't had anything since last night. The nurse had made her feel guilty, saying, "you know all of this pain medicine goes straight to your baby." Kristi was trying to go without it but that is not good...it will just take longer and more medicine to get it back to a managable level.
After talking to Kristi this morning, it was decided that IF she felt good enough to come home, if even for a day or two, then maybe it would help her cope a little better. You know, you can only take the hospital for so long. She's tired and irritable and hates getting the differing opinions several times a day. They tested protein levels again this morning and they said it wasn't elevated so maybe nothing to be concerned about. They are testing another oral pain med to see if she would be able to tolerate it.
Just talked to Kristi again. She sounds good but is still in pain. They've given her the pain meds and if they work, they'll let her leave around lunch time. We'll just work out arrangements for someone to be with her at all times while she's at home. The kids are ecstatic...they have missed their big sister and have been very upset that they haven't been able to see her.
