I'm writing this thread literally half "dead". Please excuse me if some things don't make sense but I will try not to leave anything out.
First of all, I want to thank everyone here for your good wishes and prayers. I say it all the time and will say it again, "I love you guys for being so genuine and supportive. You're ALWAYS there."
Now, Jillian aka "Lilmsboop" had a very long and bad labor. Her labor began Sunday evening and wasn't able to sleep Sunday night or Monday night. We took her to the hospital yesterday morning at around 10:30am and it was a very SLOW, SLOW process. As you know from the first thread, she gave in to an epidural. So she was way too comfortable for too many hours. Then they had to break her water. But last night around 8pm, she started to get a fever of 102. This was a sign of an infection to them. She came very, very close to a c-section but I was there to hold one leg while the nurse held the other leg. My son helped lift her a bit to a crunching position. And we just all encouraged her loudly to keep pushing and don't stop. She was very weak. She was very exhausted. She was hot with the fever. Then I started to lie to her to tell her that I saw the babys head and now was the time for her to find that strength and don't give up. I looked at her and told her "your baby is right there. You can do this. Let her out Jill." And finally after 1 1/2 hours of pushing, her little girl was born. The baby's breathing had them very concerned where they called a "code" over the hospital intercom. They managed to rub her and get her to cry and she got her pink color but she wasn't crying consistently enough for them. I saw the concern on their faces but I didn't want to alarm Jillian. The pediatricians from ICU came down to examine her very quickly. They told us the baby wouldn't be in the regular nursery because they want to observe her and run test to make sure she doesn't have an infection and that she wasn't getting fever. However, I heard both the peds doctors talking about her breathing in their medical lingo.
So, I don't have anymore of an update yet.........I still have this excruciating headache and trying to have coffee and advils to get rid of it. I need to check on both of my babies, Jillian and Anyssa. Please give us a little extra prayer for Little Anyssa. And another one for Jillian to recover quickly. And thank you sooooo much for your concerns, good wishes and prayers once again.
