The Crows Nest Hilton

So here I am, chilling out at the Crows Nest Hilton, the food is okay, however the room service could be greatly improved.

For those of you who haven't yet heard through the Pather/Spurr grapevines, Kos is in hospital. But, before you gasp and think about getting on the phone to Sagri, Sally or I to check on how she is, I can assure you that she is doing fine! I think she will die of boredom before anything life altering happens.

Thursday Morning: Kos awakes to find that the area around her is wet. She thinks that the pregnancy may have caused incontinence, and rushes to the bathroom. She thinks there may be something wrong (hey I would be wetting the bed too if I had 3kgs of pressure being put on my bladder 24/7) so we head up to our hospital just to make sure. I had gotten dressed for work, thinking that Kos would be checked in half an hour, I'd drop her at home and then head off to work.

10 hours later we were still at the hospital. It was discovered that rather than Kos wetting the bed, her amniotic sac's membrane had ruptured (don't ask me how as I have no idea and the nurses don't offer much isight either...just one of those things that can happen.) and was slowly leaking amniotic fluid. Rather than having her waters break all at once in about 7 weeks, Kos' has decide on a slow leak routine.

We were advised that Kos wouldn't be going home and that she will be staying overnight at least. The Perfect Wingman (Dr Tan - see previous Post) decided to show up at the end of the day and instructed Kos that she wasn't going anywhere. Kos started laughing, as The Perfect Wingman has a weird sense of humour, but unfortunately this time he wasn't joking. Kos has to stay in here until the baby is born. That could be tomorrow or it could be three weeks away.

She can't go home as if anything does happen she needs to be close to help. She is on antibiotics to stop any infection getting to the baby and has had two huge steroid needles to give the baby a boost in case the baby does decide the enter the world sooner rather than later.

So, Kos has to sit it out and wait for the baby to arrive. 5 days down, some more to come. Just as long as that baby gets some more time in the womb all will be well. She may be getting bored but the room she is in has Foxtel, so she shouldn't be complaining...Monday night footy is on in 5, so gotta go... the Tigers are playing the Raiders.
