Allison update 3

Allison had her magnesium levels dropped last night about 6. Since then, her contractions have unfortunately picked back up again to several an hour. She was taken completely off medication this morning at 6 a.m. So far, they have stayed consistent.

The doctors came in this morning to talk with Allison and I and are hoping she can be released tonight about supper time. They want to keep her on bed rest at least throughout this week. She has another appointment Friday which should hopefully give a more clear indication of what the next few weeks will be like.

The good news, in a way, is that apparently she has been having these contractions for at least a month, but thought it was the baby moving or something because they were such a small amount of pain during those times. I say good news because she was able to function normally during these times and there were no complications.

Hopefully even if contractions continue, she will be able to be somewhat normal in the coming weeks. I'll continue to update the blog as things change throughout the day.
