Bye Bye IUD

Went to the hospital at 6am. Was in the operating room at 8...and left the hospital at 11:45. WOW I was impressed. Everything went so smooth. I asked the doctor in recovery where the IUD was embedded and he told me once he dilated the cervix he pulled on it and it just came out in 1 piece. So apparently it was just stuck at the top of the cervix and not embedded. WTF! He also did a D and C because of the abnormal bleeding I had been having all year. Pain was not so bad, by the evening it was gone. Instead my entire body ached and my throat hurt from being intubated. Dang I can only imagine how Logan felt being intubated all those times.....my neck, back and chest still hurt. I believe I caught a nasty little virus as well. At first I thought the dry cough was just from the sore throat etc...now it has turned into full on cold symptoms. I have went months without catching anyone's cooties. Everyone at work has been sick over that past few weeks...I always make a big deal out of it, because I don't like working with sick people. NOW IT IS MY TURN TO DRAG MY BUTT IN THERE ON SUNDAY AND SPREAD MY GERMS muahhhhhahhhahaha

We missed Jacob's pulmonology appointment today, but I did accomplish ordering him new glasses. His has been lost for over 2 weeks now.

Did I mention that Andrew can now drink from a straw. It is so cute!

Jacob has made it an entire day without vomiting. Woo Hoo. Oh and we discovered he is allergic to oatmeal! Who knew? He went to get his synergis shot on Wednesday, but broke out in hives at the doctors office..so maybe Monday we will go back and get it.

He is suppose to see the GI doctor on Tuesday...they told me they planned on admitting him after they seen him. I am not going to let them. My parents are in town until Wednesday/Thursday. I don't know I guess it all depends on what they say. I switched to mixing rice in with his food now and that seems to have helped. He is not coughing this week that is why the vomiting has been less...definitely now cure....I'm sure as soon as he catches this nasty virus I have he will be puking all over the place again.

I go for follow up in 2 weeks from the IUD removal...now I have to decide on what birth control to try next.....

Jacob

@ 3 years old: Jacob is Triplet "B" He is Logan's identical twin. He was also the recipient from the Twin to Twin Transfusion. This caused him to have to much blood flow before he was born. He had a large amount of amniotic fluid around him and an enlarged heart. 3 days before he left the NICU we were shocked to find out he had severe brain damage. Prior to him leaving the hospital he had achieved everything as well as his brother Andrew. He has cysts covering large portions of his peridal lobe and right frontal lobes. We do not know what caused his damage. He never had a brain bleed and nothing bad happened in the NICU that we know of. The doctor seems to belive it was caused by the TTTS, but 1 week old Ultrasounds showed his brain to be "normal" at that time. He has been diagnosed with Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy. He also has cortical visual impairment, severe reflux (GERD), partial seizures, a g-tube. He can not do a lot right now, but we have faith that he will someday. He has some head control and can pull his chest off the ground and turn his head side to side. He has even surprised us a few times and rolled over.

Andrew

@ 3 years old: Triplet "C" he just hung out will his brother caused havic before they were born. He was a perfect infant and just did his own thing. As he is going into the toddler days he is definately developing his own curious personality. While he may have sat on the sidelines when they were small. He makes himself known these days. He has become quite vocal over the past few months. He learned how to walk when he was 21 months old. He climbs everything! He is a sweet boy and is Ava's best friend.
