Rowan Update #7

So BP and Erin are on day 5 of their Crestwood Hospital stay.  Around 2 days too long for BP.

Well yesterday BP and Erin got some bad news that Rowan has Jondas pretty bad.  His Billy Rubin level got to 17.4ish yesterday so they took him away from BP and Erin around 4 to let him "lay on the beach".  He only comes around for feedings. So BP has his hopes up of being at home today but one more day.  Dr. Fields (Rowan's Doc) said the Billy Rubin level was down to 14 today but he wants it at 11 before he quits getting the lights blasted on him.  He said we could go home and he would call in home health but after talking to nurses (and even Dr. Fields pretty much said staying in the hospital was the way to go), we decided to tough it out one more day.

Now the nurses are trying to get the insurance to pay especially since Dr. A came by and said she wanted to keep a watch on Erin's blood pressure one more day since her blood pressure has been shooting high again.  If the insurance want pay then BP and Erin go on the "rest easy" plan which means we pay $50 out of pocket and get no attention from the nurses.

They just took Erin's blood pressure 150/104...that is way high...Dr. A said she bumping erin up on her blood pressure medicine.

Updates:
Rowan - getting a tan under the lights
BP - typing, bored, just farted, getting hungry, missing Paisley/Cooper, getting hungry for sweets but no sweets till Friday...DIET TIME again
Erin - showering
Cooper - playing in chicken houses and barking at the mule (so says Belinda)
Paisley - napping, missing BP
Dr. A - making rounds
Temp - staying steady at 68ish..BP so glad
Weather - NO CLUE....bp forgets the day sometimes
TV: Spin City on Erin's and Las Vegas on BP's...BP is not paying attention
Internet Service:  still sucking but it may be BP's computer...time for a new one...sure if you want to hand over $900 to him
Yosimniti - eating and hee-hawing
Auburn - do some recruiting

BP still hates blogging but as Bowenowens said yesterday, it is a good way to keep the peeps updated..
Bored

Rowan Update #6 and PICS

r. A is circumsizing Rowan as we speak.  Good luck with that Rowan

They have Erin on some magnesium medacine for her blood pressure.  We can't be released to the post labor side of the hospital till she comes off this medicine which will be 8:00 tonight.  They nurse isn't allowing visitors unless it is immediate family while Erin is on this high blood pressure medicine and even though BP and Erin consider cuzzes and cuzzetes immediate family, the nurses didn't buy it.  And talk about trying to distinguish to them the difference between cousin and cuzz was hard.  Rowan bit one of them for calling Scott a cousin and not a cuzz.

Anyway, BP knows that some wanted to come visit today but the nurse asked for all visitors to hold off till tomorrow.  So if you were planning on coming, you are welcome to call to see if there are any changes but more than likely you need to wait to tomorrow.

Updates:
Rowan: screaming his wee wee off
Erin:  sleeing
BP:  about to upload pics
Temp:  a freken 66 which is way higher than 60 which it was for most of night.  The magnesium medicine makes Erin feel hot so hence the freezing temp
Cooper:  probably barking and knocking something over
Paisley:  probably sleeping
Hungry:  not much, at some frosty flakes this morning
Clean:  BP is, just took a shower.  Erin......
TV:  TLC - climb the ladder (flipping houses)

PICS are now HERE

Also, check out the proud Pokster.  BP needs a cool name for grandpa Pokey.  Belinda is going to be B for now. But i can't think of something cool and non old sound for Pokey.  Help us out.  Rowan is a chunky little dude especially to be 3 week earlier!!

Rowan Update #5

Erin is up to 18 on the pitocin dosage (30 is max).  So far Rowan is not "stressing out" on this round.
But pretty much if Rowan still doesn't stress out, he has till today to come out. Erin says she doesn't want to go through another day of this induction so C-Section is even more probable sometime today.

Updates:
Who is here:  BP, Nana, Daddy Rob, Momma Kat, Belinda
Lunch:  BP and Belinda just got back from Moes.  Daddy Rob and Momma Kat heading out to eat now.
TV:  not currently own
Erin's Mood:  very good right now
Her outfite:  Gown and now oxygen mask

Rowan Update #4

Forgot to say that they started the Pitocin (BP thanks Ashley) again 1 hour ago.  Like BP said, if Rowan stresses out this time..Game Over and C-Section it is.  Erin is back up to level 8 on the Pitocin.  This is the same level that Rowan stressed at early this morning.

Stay tuned

Rowan Update #3

Well doc came in at around 9ish to try and break water and no success.  She said Erin wasn't no where near.  Doc left and then 30 minutes later the nurse came in and said we had to stop the potosium (spelling?) because it was stressing Rowan.  She called the doc and doc (Dr. A) said give it one more shot.  If this doesn't work then GAME OVER and C-section (spelling?).  I am pretty sure the nurse thinks a C-Section is 100% and Dr. A said we could call uncle (not uncle mike but uncle meaning mercy) and she would do a c-section (that is what Dr. A said after trying to break the water but we said we would keep going on natural birth for now.
However, Rowan can't be stressed and if he is stressing right now while she is only 1 centimeter dialated...and barley contracting..no way he can handle full blown birth. That is why C-Section is more than likely what is going to happen early this afternoon.

Some more updates:

Current room temp:   70 degrees.  Erin said turn it up from the 66 that was set through the night.
Who is here:  BP, Kathy, and Belinda
Nurse Status:  Mrs. Pattie is SO NICE. She already gave erin a BIG hug (we know her daughter Katie).  HEY KATIE..you were right..your mom is the bomb
Hungry:  Not really.  Kathy and I had chick-fila and then BP doused that with some M&M.
TV:  Family Fued now.  Just got done with Price is Right.  They gave away (or least tried) a mercedes ben on show case show down...when they start giving away rich cars.
Lighting:  The room is dimly lit now so Erin can try and sleep
Illness:  Erin is hanging in there.  Not too ill right now
Nervous:  Not much right now
Internet Service:  It keeps going out right now
Outfit:  BP is sporting sweatpants and auburn sweatshirt and auburn cap.  ten nurses already asked for his number. Yes Erin has gotten up 8 time to woop some tail. The other 2 times she said "Good Luck".

Rowan Update #2

The Patosum  (spelling?) is in.
The doc is coming in around 30 mintues to break her water (should I get a cup??)
dilated to 1.5 now.
stay tunned

Rowan Update #1

Alright, so far we are still waiting.  Erin is dilated to 1.  However they are starting her on the inducing medicine at 6:30 no matter what.  Her contractions have been coming all night but as of 10 minutes ago she can actually feel them (they are getting bigger).

Sleep update:  BP probably got 3 hours sleep, Erin maybe around 2 hours if that and Kathy around 2 hours. 

Temp update:  COLD in this room.  Without a blanket, you will shiver unless your name is Erin.

How Awake update:  Half awake

Hungry:  Yes

Anything on TV:  Not much..watching Becker.  However, if you have ever watched Becker, it is a pretty funny show.

Eating Time:  BP and Kathy will hopefully eat around 7:00.  BP is already hungry.

Blogging Excitement:  Hanging around a 5.  BP only blogged because he was bored and no news were posted on the Auburn blogs this morning

Until later
