So we've been sitting here in the hospital room most of the day waiting for our doctor, who the two previous nurses constantly assured us was "on his way shortly". Well, you can only keep that up for so long before one begins to wonder. When the nurse came back in an hour ago to give Kasha another shot - the same medication that caused the reaction last night and we'd been told wouldn't be given to her again - I got upset.
Long story short, the nurse apologized and called our doctor who is the only specialist in El Paso who is experienced in cases like hers. It was the first time all weekend that he'd heard she was in here. Apparently the previous nurses either called the wrong doctor, didn't call at all, or emailed him (which he doesn't check on the weekends) and claimed to have called him.
So we've spent 30 hours now in the hospital and still haven't seen a doctor, the contractions are only a few minutes apart, and as of the latest exam, Winston is in position and is ready to come out with a 1cm dilation.
We'll keep you updated, but this is the hospital stay from the place down under - and I don't mean Australia.
