So, I guess I can start with the sad news first... My pawpaw James passed away August 24th around 9pm. My aunt found him at his house and he had thrown up blood the Friday before this, and she asked him to go to the hospital, but he didn't want to. So, she went home (next door) to try to call my daddy and have him make pawpaw go to the hospital. When she came back to get pawpaw, he was slumped over on the couch and wasn't responsive. So, aunt Lisa called an ambulance and they took him to the hospital. The doctors said he was in the final stages of liver failure... I didn't get to see him. That hurts. Bad. I wish I could have been there, just to whisper one more time, "I love you pawpaw..."
Happier news... I got blood levels drawn again today, and they are up. They have been as follows: 11 days past ovulation (dpo) - 56, 12 dpo - 107, 13 dpo - 253, 18 dpo - 1547! So, they are doubling the way they should and that's exciting. I will, of course, be MUCH more excited when we are out of the first trimester and I know the baby is more safe. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm excited now, but I just want this scary time to be over and done with. So, I guess onto next week and more blood work...
