Needless to say Tuesday was a very emotional day for us. After sharing some tears and talking a while Jordan and I spent sometime praying for this precious boy and for the Lord to prepare us for whatever may come. We know His plan is perfect and that He will equip us with whatever is necessary to take care of these two little boys that He has in trusted to us.
Kohen's profile
After finding these concerns with Kohen the Doctors felt like bed rest was necessary for me at this time. I have to lay down or be reclined a minimum of 18 hours a day (yikes!) for the next 2 weeks. They have told me if doing this doesn't help improve things a little and Kohen's weight doesn't improve, then I will be placed in the hospital to be watched closely until the boys arrive. We are doing everything we can to keep it from getting to that point!
They will continue to do 2 stress tests every week and 2 flow studies as well. It is comforting to know that they will be watching so closely and that if something were to happen it could be caught fast!
We are very blessed to have such a wonderful family who is willing to help us with Kelsie for the next few weeks. It was so, so, so, hard to know that I would not see her for a few weeks but at the same time it is not worth risking something serious in the lives of these little boys. For Jordan and I it was the first big decision we had to make regarding not just our "child" but our "children". We know she will be well taken care of and she LOVES being with her "people"!
I know these next weeks will be difficult at times and I am trying to put into practice (literally)Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God."
3 days of bed rest down ..... ? more to go!
