Psychotomy

*sigh* spent most (all) of yesterday at the hospital. got there at 10, got out in time to not make it to the pharmacy before it closed at 5.

kiir was still doing 60-sec contractions every 4 minutes, although they were still very light. and the baby was quietd (not kicking/moving/etc like usual) … so the midwife wanted us to come in so she could check the baby.

midwife was busy yesterday, didn’t get to us until nearly noon! then the urine sample went for processing (it’d been sitting there for two hours waiting for the doc to say if she wanted it run or not). then when they were about ready to give kiir a sleeping pill so she could get some relief from the contractions an a good nights sleep (baby woke up when we got there, he’s perfectly fine) … results came back with a UTI. probably the same UTI that they were talking about friday night was possible, except the test came back unclear. then the nurse and midwife who both seemed quite put out that we were there (when the midwife had told us to come in) decided to send us home rather than doing something useful. which brings us back to the hospital yesterday where it came back positive.

so then two litres of water. wheeeee. and antibiotics. wheeeee. and then the shift change and when the fluid finally finished at 3-3:30, the new nurse tried to put on anotehr bag (3 litres? wait wait wait), saying the midwife hadn’t talked to her about having checked kiir. i don’t know what being re-checked has to do with a third litre when the directions said two, but no! still busy midwife, managed to get in around 4-4:15, and another half hour before we got out.

got to the pharmacy at 4:55, they close at 5. went and found another pharm open until 6 so kiir could get her antibiotics filled. then the contractions were getting harder last night, so she didn’t take the sleeping pill :o

*sigh* the hospital is seriously starting to SUCK
