Update 9:15 AM on May 18th 2011

Last night - was a bit tough, every 2 hours was a new surprise.

9 pm - We tried to sleep after a so, so Biggest Loser episode.

12 pm - At midnight the vomiting came hard. The Mag Sulfate finally caught up with her and she lost it pretty good, she felt better for a little while.

3 am - We're up for her evaluation and she's losing more ability to do things. She was really at the point of incapacitation and depended on others to help her do anything.

8 am - We finally decided she would have to have a catheter put in and it seems that helped relieve some of the stress on her uterus. She's really knocked out and has trouble moving even her eyelids still. She's been off of any food and water, not that she would want it, since midnight with the potential cerclage procedure today. Things have calmed down with the contractions but I'm just not sure what we're really hoping for. I think it's that the contractions calm down enough that the procedure can be done then the babies are stuck in there for the next 9 weeks (or longer would be wonderful) until it's time to pull them out.

8 am - Ultrasound technician came in and we got to see some pictures of the kids, all are there, but their heartbeats are reduced because of the Mag. With the normal heartbeats that we've seen in the 170's 180's to see 110's and 115's was brutal. It's good to see they are there, but we certainly want to get this downhill slide going the other way. 

9:30 am - Waiting on the labs from the Mag levels still to see if there will be an adjustment, waiting on Dr. Mandsager today to see what he wants to do. Dr. Hwang is in another part of Iowa doing the outreach.

Will keep you guys up to date as I get anything. T.
