Shunt #2 update

[trixi282]

I'm home now resting, and all went well. We were in a few minutes after scheduled (on books for 8:30) and were out of the OR in less than an hour this time.

I won't lie, it was a bit more painful and more uncomfortable this time. But it was still only about 15 minutes of that overall, so it was tolerable, and still worth getting out of there sooner without a spinal!

Nugget did cooperate and stayed mostly in place so doc was able to place the shunt towards the back, just below the shoulder blade so it should be out of the way and not in a place where it can get knocked or grabbed! Let's hope it stays put.

I had brunch at the hospital (french toast, sausage, and apple juice, yum!) and then rested and took a short nap, and got discharged around 1:30. Now I'm on bed rest for the day, and have a few follow ups scheduled.

Doc also ordered another round of steroid shots (2) so I had one today, and I'll get another tomorrow morning at another clinic.

That's all for today's episode of as nugget grows!

[sunshinelady]

Yay for you and good job little nugget!!

[summergirl1211]

Glad you got in quickly and the procedure went smoothly. I hope little Nugget leaves it alone this time so you don't have to go through that any more. Yay for brunch and a nice nap! I'm thinking of you constantly and hoping you can have some "quieter" times ahead. Sending lots of love lady!

[MissMusic]

You guys are real troopers. I know you're doing everything you can to ensure that Nugget grows and keeps on growing. Its admirable, and I'm so glad things went well today! Rest up!

[abseptember]

Hoping the shunt stays in place! Glad the procedure went smoothly!

[sarahandeddie]

Glad everything went smoothly. I hope the shunt stays in place this time.

I'm so glad they're preparing nugget for a possible early arrival, but I'm praying he/she gets to cook a lot longer!

I also think you should add all these update threads and comments to nuggets baby book. I think he/she would love to see how much you loved and worried about him/her and how many J12 mommas were praying too!

[bantyrooster]

Behave now little nugget! Your shunt is not a toy. Lots of healing sent your way!

[nursedesi]

I'm glad all went well today. Hopefully this one will stay!

[mightythorgi]

Glad to hear things went smoothly. Continued prayers and hugs, mama. Hope you can get a lot of good rest!

They did mention possible early delivery today even, since the further along we get, the higher the chance for that to occur. Thankful we were very uneventful in all aspects today!

I have kept a little journal of all my appointments and procedures, that are very similar, if not identical to these updates! hadn't thought of printing all the T&P and good vibes. That's a great idea!

[mrsrek10]

Ok, Nugget, you behave! Your mommy has been through enough already!

In all seriousness, sending you all the healthy baby, anti-cyst thing growing vibes I can send! Glad you both are doing ok after your procedure. Still glad you share all of this with us. We are all pulling for you both!

[xanthepants]

Awh girl, I'm sorry it was more painful this time. You are doing amazing. I am praying hard that this one stays in place and does the job. You really deserve a break and as Summergirl said some quieter time ahead.

[lizwinderson]

You are one strong momma! I can't even imagine how you must feel. Prayers that the shunt works!

[laurski81]

I am happy to hear that all went well today. I'm sorry that it was so much more painful this time though. You truly are one tough momma and I admire your strength through all of this. FX that this shunt does the trick and you can rest easier. Both of you are always in my thoughts and prayers. So many hugs.

[vtkatydid12]

Glad to hear all went well today!

[mightybee]

Glad to hear today went well. Hugs mama!

[ultramonkey]

Sorry you had to go through the procedure again. Hope you heal quickly and nugget keeps the shunt in place. Big hugs to you Trixi.

[rollerrink]

This whole process is incredible & you are amazing. Praying that the shunt stays put and everything smooths out for a while. Big hugs!

[roo1582]

So glad to hear the procedure went well today. I'm sorry it was more painful, but hoping this shunt stays put so you don't have to go through it again! You strength through all this is amazing and I'm keeping you and your LO in my T&P's.

[jennmm]

Hoping it all works like it's supposed to this time!

[zyas]

I'm so glad to hear it went well! Hopefully you can get some rest for a bit now.

[irish1213]

Very happy to hear all went well. Be sure to take it easy mama!! Still praying for nugget.

How are you feeling today trixi282?

[trixi282]

Pretty good today. I had a meeting this morning at 10 and was going to go into work first for a few hours... But doc wanted to do another round of steroid shots to try and help shrink this mass in Nugget. so I scheduled that for now (waiting room) and my 10am appointment is right down the street from this clinic!

So I slept in a little and I feel a lot better than last time when I got home late, them went into work right away the next morning.... That was a mistake then, live and learn!

Just a little slow and a little stiff when I stand from sitting or lying down, but its not so bad.
