Day #34

I finally called the ortho doctor to make the appointment to schedule my hip surgery. For those of you who don't know I was scheduled to have the surgery the week of Thanksgiving 08'. I found out I was pregnant the week before Thanksgiving. The surgery is to correct a problem I have developed from the previous surgery. I developed a bone growth on the outer and inner part of my hip. The extra bone has extremely limited my range of motion in that hip, actually to the point that it might be one the reason I went into labor early. My hips were unable to spread apart and the baby was unable to drop down. I can't tell you how hard it was for me to make this call. I have tossed up the idea of not having the surgery at all and Chris brought me back to reality and told me how much I needed it. So many things have ran through my mind...how long will it be before I can see Trey? if they MAKE me take pain meds can I pump?, I don't want my supply to drop off, Will they let me see him after major orthopedic surgery? How long before I can walk, UGGGGG My mind is racing in a million different directions. I have to believe that everything will be just fine but I don't have a lot of time to mentally adjust to the situation. My consult for the surgery is next week they will probley schedule the surgery the following week.

Trey is doing really well, no surprise there. They did try to cut his O2 back to 3liters but he starting brading again so they increased it back to 4liters and he is still gaing weight. So, another day has ended and we are another day closer to him coming home.
