Setbacks

So Thursday and Friday were the best two days we've had since we've been here. There were only a few contractions, I was only hooked up to the fetal and contraction monitors, and everything seemed very hopeful. Around 9:00 Friday night I started experiencing several noticable contractions very close together. I met with the doctor and she decided to increase my dosage of Procardia as well as the frequency of when I take it. So instead of 10 mg every 6 hours I am taking 20 mg every 4 hours in an effort to keep the contractions at bay. I also was put back on i.v. fluids (just fluid, not medication) as well as a more restricted bed rest, meaning no shower priviledges and a catheter for now. This is a really disappointing setback since we were hopeful we were past such a touch and go time. Our hope of making it another month is back to making it day to day again. It's very nervewracking for everyone because we are still in a very undetermined place. Austin's chances of surviving without complications has gone up since we arrived almost a week ago but not drastically. Although we are both more stable than when we arrived initially we are not at a point where we can breathe easily yet.
