T&Ps needed...
I feel like I've asked this of you all so many times, but something about Nestie prayers works. I feel like my family can't catch a break. My mom's health isn't good and in an attempt to make a very long story short, my mom is in the hospital for the 2nd time in a month. (Back story: she has Pulmonary Hypertension and is on oxygen 24/7) She was having a horrible time breathing so she went in a few weeks ago, they ran tests and started her on new meds. We were all concerned about her going home alone since she is already weak and being in a hospital bed with limited PT for over a week, wasn't the most positive of situations. She was determined though, they got her a walker and deemed her OK to go home. With care from my amazing aunt, in-home PT and OT last week she was home and told me she was improving every day. Fast forward to Saturday - she fell and was on the floor for we don't know how long, but also lost her connection to the oxygen. She was taken back into the hospital and is currently there and just not well. Her Dr is concerned and she's being taken to HUP (Philly hospital) again since the local hospital she is in can only do so much.
Now, I am 38 weeks pregnant, two hours away from her and I feel so utterly helpless. I have no siblings to help and my aunt who has been so great is leaving for CA on Saturday. I will go up if things get bad (I mean, I can deliver a baby anywhere there is a hospital) but I'm really not supposed to travel too far from my Dr. I just keep wanting to scream "Why is this happening again? Why is this happening right now?" but it is what it is.
So, if you've got any extra thoughts/prayers, please send them her way. I can't help but feel cheated out of the end of my pregnancy and in what should be an amazingly exciting time for DH and me but ultimately her health is more important than my excitement. I am scared for her and for what is going to happen.
Sorry this got long?.
Someone's getting a little brother!
