After my last hospital admission, Eric decided to take a 2 week vacation so he could study for the Step 2 of the boards. So, for the past two weeks, he's been studying hard (well, as hard as you can when you have two adorable little boys in the house who you have to love on all the time!). He started a two week anaesthesiology rotation this week that he really likes...good thing since that is what he wants to do!
We went to a baptism orientation at our church for the boys last week. We are so excited they will be baptized on September 13th. It should be a lovely service and we are having people over after at our house to celebrate.
I've been seeing my doctors on an out patient basis since I got out of the hospital. The pathology report from the D&C indicated I had chronic endometritis. Dr. McKernan was surprised as I didn't have symptoms for that, but by doing the D&C, he was covering all his bases to figure out what was wrong with me.
The week after I was discharged, my wbc was 4.4 (normal range is 4.1-10). We were so happy because it seemed that the D&C did the trick. By the end of that week, though, it was down to 2.9 and a week later, it was 2.7. My last appointment with the hemotologist was on Monday and my count was back up to 3.9.
According to the hemotologist, it seems like my wbc dips are cyclic and appear to be tapering off. I surely hope so! As aggravating as it is that no one knows why this is happening, I just want it to be gone! It really messes with your head when you're constantly worried about getting another fever and having to go back to the hospital.
The boys are growing and getting really chubby. They had their 2 month well baby check last week. Carter weighed 12.8 lbs and Brandt weighed 10.13. If we work really hard, we can get them to smile, but they are not smiling on their own yet. The dr said that they are a little behind developmentally, but are doing really well and normal for being premies. Although it makes me sad they are growing up, I can't wait for them to smile and laugh!

So glad to hear you are doing better. But what is chronic endometritis?? Do they know how to help you now that they know what you have? Hope it all clears up soon!
