It's been a while since I've given an update on David's health. David has continued to struggle with his health & has been in & out of the hospital lately. Two weeks ago, he had kidney stones & spent 7 hours in the ER, waiting for pain meds. Thankfully, they weren't too big & he was able to pass them the next morning. Then last week, he spent 2 nights in the hospital, getting a blood transfusion. You're supposed to have 10 units of red blood cells & he only had 6. The blood loss is from the ulcerative colitis, which has been pretty severe over the past few months.
On top of that, David's foot has been swollen & infected, & he had been on crutches for several weeks. They've been trying to figure out what was going on with his foot, whether it was from the colitis or unrelated, but still no answers yet. They gave him some prednisone in the hospital last week, which has helped clear up the infection & is also helping the colitis. He will only be taking that for a few more weeks, though, & there is a good chance things will get worse again once he is off of it.
We are just taking each day as it comes, though, and are thankful David is feeling good for now. He is off the crutches, & we were able to go someplace as a family today for the first time in over a month, so pictures were definitely in order! lol
And here are a couple pictures of me, 28 weeks pregnant. I am due Nov 30th, and it is getting closer! Still trying to figure out how I'm going to handle all these little ones, and 3 in diapers. But I'm sure it'll all work out. We're super excited to meet our daughter, though, & I've been having too much fun going shopping lately, although all these tiny pink clothes still look awfully strange to me!
