Its so lovely coming back in here to such kind-hearted people cheering Heidi on. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
DP has been with her each day, morning and going back down at night. Being such the sweetie that he is, he took our video cam down and has filmed her for me to watch. Its not the same as being with her, but makes a big difference. She is improving slowly, bit by bit each time he visits. The doctors are happy with her, she just needs some more time and hopefully we'll be on more solid ground. Even on the morphine she's starting to get a bit more active which is a great sign.
DS & I are getting much better which is good. I'm still banning myself until Tuesday, I'm so paranoid about being infectious and stopping at home for a few days has forced me to rest up a bit instead of running around like a mad woman. I still need to keep busy though...I'm going nuts being away from her.
I forgot to add that the day everything went pear-shaped, we received the professional photos of Heidi that were arranged through the ACOCP. They are just beautiful. I sat and bawled my eyes out looking through them - it was such a tough day and to have those beautiful pics of Heidi when she was well really gave me a lot to stay focussed on.
I have a follow up appt with the Obstetric team at the hospital tomorrow morning - I'm guessing its all going to be routine stuff for me post-natally. We may or may not have any more info as to why Heidi decided to arrive so early - I suspect its going to stay her little secret. Precious little girl.

Thank you so much for keeping us in the loop with Heidi.
Last post I said I was going to light a candle to send Heidi strength. At about 8.45pm or so I had lit the candle and not 5 mins later we lost electricity - Heidi's light kept DH and I from being in darkness :-)

Sweetheart, you just made me cry. To think of her lighting up so many people's lives is just beautiful. Thank you x
Rosebud, she has been opening her eyes again today when DP has been with her, grasping his finger as if to say "I'm still here daddy" so we're so hopeful its a little message from her that we just need to be patient for a few more days.

Infinity, I have been stalking this thread for a while now, praying for your little one. I hope she goes from strength to strength and you have past the hardest days. Even though you are not physically by her side at the moment I am sure she knows that her mum and dad are thinking of her. The joy of seeing her on Tuesday will banish the last few days so quickly it will seem like you never left her side.
Wishing and praying for you

So glad to hear the Heidi is improving and that her activity is increasing which is always a good sign. Little things like that always put a smile on my face especially when they were able to open their eyes again and look at you as if to say thank you! I don't know exactly what it is about these little miracles but they have a special aura about them, a special connection.
Hugs Hun for a quick recovery. Self imposed visiting bans are always a difficult time. Hoping that both you & Heidi are soon well enough for cuddles again.
Best of luck with your appointment tomorrow. Hopefully they will have some answers for you.
Sending healing vibes to all & keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers.

Glad Heidi is doing better and so sad that this is a bad week for you. It's always harder when you aren't there with them, as it feels like something you CAN do for them in the hospital to try to make up for feeling like you've failed them by not keeping them safe. It's a terrible, irrational guilt that I know Sal carries with her for not keeping our boys in her belly longer. It's not your fault, you body did the best thing for her and got her out so she wouldn't get sick from the infection. It's a crazy, hard thing you are being asked to do, you miss out on so much, the big round belly and all the attention that comes with being that pregnant. You have a new baby, yet when you go out, she's not with you. It's a terribly hard thing to deal with, give yourself time to grieve the lost weeks of your pregnancy, it is a loss even though Heidi is still with you, you have had so much taken away that so many people can't imagine.
You are doing the best job as her Mum as you can do, staying away at the moment is protecting her and just keep remembering that you will take her home and she will be your little baby girl at home with you making up your family of four where she belongs. I am amazed at your strength at every post, Heidi is such a lucky little girl to have two parents who love her as much as you do. Keep going Mum, you can do this!
