Taking Care of Mom

Christine was having some trouble overnight with a fever, nausea, shortness of breath, and possible fluid in her chest. They gave her several medications, but it kept persisting. They decided to move her over to the main hospital this morning to get some tests done. Getting sick and moved around is not really the most convenient or pleasant thing to do after you've had five babies. Plus it is scary when you cannot tell what the outcome is going to be. We've been worried enough for our children, and we don't want more to add on top of it. The trials keep on lasting, but we are glad God is walking with us through them. We can't wait until Christine finally has a chance to rest comfortably and to see her newborn babies.

In the afternoon, the test results came back and everything was clear. Christine's fever has gone away, and her fluids are getting regulated more towards normal. She is feeling more able to move around a bit. The plan is to get her settled back in her room at the Women's Hospital tomorrow morning, and then she can go visit the babies in the NICU.
