Hi, friends! I just wanted to document our last week for you and for me to remember believe it or not. =) I will detail Caleb's birth story more maybe at a later time.
Friday, June 12th 1:30 am Water broke in bed.
Friday, June 12th 4:30 pm Caleb Michael makes his entrance after 15 hours of labor!
Saturday, June 13th Spinal headache begins due to complications from the epidural.
Sunday, June 14th We find out we need to stay another day so Caleb can get checked out for fast respirations.
Monday, June 15th Caleb is taken to NICU since he has bacteria in his blood.
Monday, June 15th Spinal headache is unbearable, so I get a blood patch procedure to fix the leaking spinal fluid. Later that night when I was emotionally and physically more stable at home, I was told that Caleb has Group B strep, contracted from me even though I tested negative at 35 weeks.
Tuesday, June 16th First day I feel like myself! Stayed overnight with Caleb
Wednesday, June 17th Another good day! It was Marc's birthday and the youth
came to throw Marc a party. We both went home that night to catch up on sleep.
Thursday, June 18th I woke up fine and then started shaking uncontrollably and spiking a fever around 3 while alone feeding Caleb. I was admitted to the hospital late at night with pneumonia and will stay a few days for antibiotics.
God is in control! I love this verse: "You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in You." -Isa 26:3
Pray for Marc today especially because he has a LOT of work to catch up on. He tried to yesterday, but then I made it difficult by being admitted to the hospital. =) He will feel so good if he can get some work done.
