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.
