Alicia is home resting. Sounds like the doctors have come to the conclusion it is may be a spinal headache from the epidural, especially since it seems to follow the pattern of not being too bad laying down then it hits when she gets up. The quick fix would be a blood patch which she can't have due to being on blood thinners as a result of the pulmonary embolism (blood clot) she threw into her lung the day after Christmas. The only other fix is it will eventually heal itself over time. Problem is that time is precious and this is keeping her away from the baby.
She managed to struggle through the pain to visit Jayden for about 15 minutes before we left and he definitely seemed to know she was there! He always seems to want to get his hand to his face & you can see him trying suck on his breathing tube so I have a hunch he is getting a little frustrated he can’t suck on his thumb that he always seemed to have in his mouth on ultrasounds!
Grandma may work part of the day on Monday so updates will be a little slower as I can’t be on the internet much at work.
