Delivery Story

Ok so it is my turn to post on the blog, Troy has done a wonderful job posting updates, but didnt go into detail on the whole delivery and how things took place so I will take the honor of doing so. If I start to mispell words, it is due to the lack of sleep!!
So at the last ultrasound, the Dr. noticed that the babies werent gaining as much weight as they should have gained at that point, so he ordered some tests to check the heart rates of the babies and to check they umbilical cords to see if they were getting enough nutrients to the babies. Both tests came out normal, but the Dr. still was concerned because of the unknown reason why they werent gaining. So he gave me steroid injections to mature the babies lungs, and we planned a c-section for the following thursday, March 5. So on Sunday, March 1, I went in for another scheduled fetal heart monitor test, just to make sure things were still good. I woke up that morning with horrible pain from my sternum radiating to my back, it was hard to breathe and very uncomfortable, with no relief. I went in for my test and told the Dr. about the pain. He didnt seem too concerned, but wanted to take some blood tests just in case. So I had my blood drawn and was sent home, and was told they will call with results. We walked through the door at home and I just had laid down on my bed, when the phone rang and it was the Dr. saying get back to the hospital now, were are taking the babies tonight!! So I panicked, Troy panicked and then we called our parents and they panicked!!!! my blood tests showed that I was begininng to have HELLP syndrome, which is a very scary thing that can happen in pregnancy, that can kill babies and mommies. Your liver starts to shut down and your body rejects the babies. My liver tests were 3 times the normal levels and my platelets were dropping quickly. It was time to get the babies out!!! So we went in for a c-section at 10:15 that night and delivered the most perfect, beautiful babies!!!! Not to mention that they were healthy, thank GOD!!!!! I was waiting for their first cries, Kamryn let out a huge cry, which was music to my ears, but after Rylan was out, it took him a second to cry, but finally I heard it!!! I got to quickly see my beautiful babies and then they were taken to the nursery with daddy. I was sent off to recovery, where I was determined to move my legs quickly so I could go see my babies, sure enough when they asked me to move my legs I lifted them right off the bed, that spinal didnt hold me back!!!!
So the next couple days were still pretty serious for my health, I was at risk for having seizures or strokes from the complications of the HELLP syndrome. I was put on magnesium, which is a horrible drug, for 2 days. It made me very loopy and my coordination was completely gone(I know, nonthing unusual there). My blood tests finally started to improve after a couple days, but I had to stay in the hospital for a week, which was fine with me, cause my babies were there anyways. I am much better, and havent had any effects from the c-section!!! We have so much to be thankful for and our babies are just amazing, I have the best job in the world, being a mommy!!!! Thank you all for your prayers and support, we wouldnt have made it without them!!!!
