Hello everyone!!!
First i would Like to thank all my PROM
friends Katrina, Linda and many others
for caring enough to offer me hope and
encouragement in pretty rough times.
Well I am still hanging in they are
calling me a miracle. Still heavy
leaking and bleeding everyday but 33wks
4 days and still going.
Well I have had two four day stays in
the hospital since 24
weeks and a rush ride in a helicopter
ambulance to BC Womens
Hospital but baby seems healthy and is
gaining weight and
growing normally. Last check at 31 weeks
had baby at 4lbs.
Fluid was next to nothing but I go
through a box of super
absorbant napkins in a day so this is
not surprising. I had a bit of a
breakdown on last visit to the hospital
as I am pretty tired of hearing how high
risk I am, and how I will never get to
my next appointment from doctors and
nursing staff. Due to this they will be
inducing me by 36 weeks if I have not
gone into labour. I have also developed
severe gestational diabetes which can
effect baby's lungs as well as prom in
addition to the baby being large and
having a more difficult time at birth.
For the record I am on over 300 units of
insulin (by injection ) per day. I am
very thankful for all of your letters
and support my friends. I will update my
story with pictures after the birth.
God bless you all and please keep me in
your thoughts and
prayers as I enter the final leg of my
journey. Wish me luck!!!
Update nov 19 2000
Well I am thrilled after Prom at 19
weeks till delivery, gestational
diabetes, early previa she is here. 5lbs
2oz perfect baby girl. No problems,
totally healthy apgars of 9 at birth.
After a 6 day hospital stay just in
case. we are home. Tia (Theresa Tia
Dorothy) is a joy. I want to thank all
of you for your support and sharing. I
could not have made it with out you.
Bless you all. If I can be of help or
support to anyone please let me know I
will stay in touch. Thank you once
again.
And please remember to all the prom moms
still hanging in. Don't let people get
you down with statistics and potential
negatives, although it is good to be
aware, make sure these nasties don't
become the focus of your pregnancy.
Be well
Shelly & Jon Ross
