Baby Gabriel is doing well. He's on room air but the cpap is helping in keeping his lungs open. They've increased his feeds from 6cc's to 18cc's to 24cc's and at 3am they'll increase it to 30cc's :). He's a little boy with a big appetite! IV should be taken out tonight at 3am as well. He's still under the photo therapy lights but hopefully tomorrow's levels show he's better. They are going to try taking him off cpap again tomorrow. The chevon blanket I slept with for 3 months in my pillow case. I wanted something from me to be with him when I couldn't be.

I also got to hold him again! Such a wonderful Mother's Day gift :)
Pumping is going well. My husband is a rock star! Here he is at 4am this morning putting my milk in containers for our little guy :)

The prayers, messages, texts and FB shares have me in awe! Truly. God is so abundant, every where, all the time.
As I lay on the OR table, all the hustle and bustle, noises, directions, plans, talking, questions, strange faces all around me, one sweet, familiar face appeared. It was Dr. Fox. She came right over to me took my hand and comforted me. She gets it. She knows, as a woman, a mother, a high risk Dr, how scared I must've been. She asked if I wanted to pray, I can't put into words how that made me feel. As if God couldn't be more noticed in the care I've received so far, here was my Dr praying with me in the OR and held my hand until I was sleep. Truly amazing. When I woke up Dr. Fox was with me as was my husband. She was raving about how well I did and that I didn't loose much blood and everything went perfectly! Such a relief but I had known The Lord placed me in her hands because He knew from a personal level to a medical professional level, Dr. Fox is exactly what I needed to get through this difficult time. I am forever thankful for Dr. Fox and her heart for vbacs and Accreta patients. Her mission to study Accreta's and raise awareness is empowering. I'm so glad I've had a tiny part in growing her Accreta experience. I did ask that pictures be taken during my surgery for research/education but also for me to have a copy ;) .
