Some posts will be short and some will be long as I put down the memories of the past several weeks. I kept notes in a red book to help keep myself grounded and from having a melt down as I watched Jamie struggle to live and then Lily struggle to survive. As I look back on it I can't believe I was able to hold it together as well as I did considering all that I saw and experienced.
Our drive to Michigan seemed like the longest drive I have ever been on, and believe me I've driven to some pretty far away places. We left around 6:30 PM on Wed. Oct. 28 and got to the hospital to see Jamie by 10:30 PM on Oct. 29. We were getting updates from Jamie as we drove. She was doing well in the hospital. They were doing a 24 hour urine protein test to see if it was high or not. If it was, then this could be a problem. She had visitors and was feeling pretty good even though a bit swollen and having high blood pressure.
We were able to visit Jamie for about 20 minutes the evening we got there. Then we went to my in-laws and slept the last of a good nights sleep for probably a week. In the next 4 or 5 days John and I probably got about 8 hours sleep total. I don't think Josh got much either. Poor guy. Every time he went home to sleep he got a call to come back to the hospital because something bad was happening. But at least that night we all got a decent nights sleep.
