Today is my first day post opt and I am so thankful to have this surgery behind me. The doctor said that it went picture perfect. I had very minimal blood loss and Eli's heart rate didn't even dip at all. Last night was rough...very rough. I was on more meds than I have ever taken in my entire life. I tend to have low blood pressure and the meds made it very low so then they had to give more meds to raise it. The Magnesium made me feel like I'd been run over by a truck and I couldn't keep down my ice chips. So then there were meds for that, and meds for contractions, and antibiotics, and etc. Needless to say I m pretty drugged.
This afternoon they finally turned off the Magnesium and took out my epidural and I am so thankful. I ate some broth and drank some juice and I am starting to feel better. I have been having some contractions which isn't totally abnormal, we just want them to stop. Please pray that they can be controlled with meds. Eli's fluid is also pretty low today which is normal. It will probably take about a week for it to improve. Please pray that it will get better with each day!
We cannot thank you all enough for your prayers for us and our little Eli. Praising the Lord for his goodness and grace so far.

We are praying hard for you, Kevin, Eli and the girls. Let us know if there's absolutely anything we can do for you.
