No More Injections


Missy tried the Heparin/blood thinner shot - yikes!  She tried it in both her side and arms.  This shot gave a terrible burning sensation and kept hurting for 30 minutes - even with Tylenol and a heat pack.  She switched back to the IV tonight.  It’s sort of like starting all over again - with her blood being tested a few times a day to find the right dose.  Missy also gave her best plead to the specialist to go home - but she continues to rest at Hotel Northside. 

The highlight of the day was JJ getting out of school two hours early due to SNOW!  JJ and I came to visit Missy and were able to go with her on both of her daily walks, watch a movie and eat dinner together.  We usually end the day by going to look at the babies in the Special Care Nursery through the window. 

Today marks 34 weeks and 4 days - and two weeks of Missy being at Northside.
