Well, we thought that we would be getting the amnio done today. They came in this morning and told us they would be here around 11 to do it and then at 12:30 the nurse came in and said that they were running behind and it would be around 2 when they got down here. It was 3 when one of the high risk doctors finally came down. It was not my normal high risk doctor and she did not want to perform the amnio. She told us there was no way that the lungs had had time to develop since last week. I am so frustrated that they waited so long and had our hopes up all day of getting to see how much the lung had matured. I do not believe she had even spoken to my regular doctors. I don't think I put this in the blog from yesterday but the doctor gave me a choice yesterday to induce last night or wait until today to check the lung development. I opted to wait until today so that we would know more about how mature the lungs are. The doctors from the office I go to changed shifts today at lunch and the one on call is at the office right now so she hasn't made her hospital rounds today. We are all very much frustrated by this and we feel that we are in the dark. Even the nurses do not know why the change in plans changed and they are frustrated for not being kept informed. I have a lot of questions for the doctor tonight and hopefully the nurse will tell us more before the doctor comes by on her rounds, or maybe the doctor will even call and let us know what in the world is going on.
Emotionally I have done really well until this happened. I think I just had my hopes up that the lungs would be developed and induction would happen tonight or in the morning. I am on my 15th day in the hospital and I am ready to go home. I want the best for our son but I am just ready to be home with him. Just please pray for me today and I will update again after we know more from our regular doctor.
