Hi Joy, they won't pull him out of the coma until the swelling in his brain goes down, so unfortunately it's really a wait and see sort of thing. I feel so bad for him, he so wanted to be at the olympics right now representing Canada and instead, he's in coma with severe injuries. His mom held the phone up to him and I talked to him for a while, told him he better get better cause the baby needed his Uncle Mark. (he was so thrilled that we considered him uncle Mark)
Also spoke with Memphis's owner, the dog is doing alright, the road rash on his bum is infected a bit, so now he's on antibiotics, but he's still walking just fine (I really thought he'd be horribly stiff today) and his regular vet just shook his head saying he was a miracle dog.
My arthritis is really flared, likely just from all the stress but I'm having a hell of time getting around right now and the pain killers make my lack of want to eat even worse. I put my steroid dose back up (I had weaned myself to 2.5 mg a day from 40 mg a day at the beginning of the pregnancy and for a few months pre pregnancy. I upped myself back to 20 mg and I'm really hoping by tomorrow that it kicks in.
Steve and I have our first councelling session tomorrow morning, but he's been so wonderful since the last major fight that I'm having trouble remembering what was so horrible. The stupid little lies are the major thing though. In talking to my friend that is a social worker, he said after meeting Steve's mother, she thinks the these stupid lies are from growing up in an enviroment where forgetting to wash a shelf in the bathtub after being asked to clean the bathroom would have been a HUGE deal and another reason to point out that he's useless. It makes sense, he just reverts back to saying what people want to hear without even realizing or thinking about the fact that he's not going to get in big trouble.
Well, I should go now, the gravol is making me drowsy and maybe just maybe I could fall asleep and have a little nap

: I am very happy for you.
Joy! um...no questions, just 
She had been away for three weeks, so it was soooo nice to see her again! Pulse still robust!
I am 14 weeks today, we are getting there. Felt baby moving again last night. Listen and had the kids listen to the HB and I was able to pick it up from both sides of my belly (which can be so normal) however, they had a 20 beat per minute difference (could still be variation of the heart during the time it took me to move the doppler) it is something to make you go HMMMMM though. Not measuring big right now though??? Yes I also lurk and occasionally post on the UC thread. Am undecided about this baby. I know there will be no midwife, but I have invited another student midwife to support me so I don't know if that is really UC birth. I am open to not calling if things move quickly, so we will see
You must be so relieved. Is Hazel the baby's name? I think it's beautiful.
