A Depressing And VERY Frustrating Day!!
The morning was off to a great start, we woke up and got to the hospital on time (6 am). We checked in, got the the monitors hooked up and things were rolling right along. At about 7:30 or so Amy needed to go to the bathroom and was unhooked and went to the bathroom across the aisle. While in there, our doctor showed up to say good morning and check on Amy. Amy heard him while she was in the bathroom and was relieved and excited that she heard his voice. The doctor let me know of a concern about how the day migh play out and left…
As Amy was coming back across the aisle, she heard a woman say something about the possibility of sending an induction patient home. Her eyes were instantly very much bigger than her head as she exclaimed “They aren’t talking about me are they?!?!” I didn’t want to be the one to tell her about the possibility, but I was not given the choice. I had to tell her that they were talking about us and there was a chance of us being sent own. Fortunately, our doctor came back and filled us in and how he was lobbying for us to stay.
After about 45 minutes or so, one of the managers of the unit came and said that we could stay or go home. After much discussion and her reevaluation of the hospital’s status, we are being sent home. We were discharged form the hospital due to the hospital not having any post partum beds available for us. We have been guaranteed that we will be in an LDR room with an IV and pitocin going in by 7 am tomorrow morning or the manager told us that we could/should fire her. She will be there at 7 am to check and be sure that this is the case.
Amy is on her way home as I sit her and wait for my mom to arrive at the hospital since her cell phone isn’t working and she has already left the house. We will be back here tomorrow bright and early at 6 am, to once again be induced and have our child. Needless to say, one of Amy worst fears has come true and we have been sent home and she feels like she has let people down. I have told her that there is nothing that we can do about it and everyone understands. There is nothing that we did wrong or could have changed. We just need to relax and hopefully get some rest tonight so that we can bring our child into this world tomorrow…
