Just got the call from Kathi as she left the Hospital from her check up with the new Doctor. We had to find a new Doctor with moving so far away after losing the house. Not long ago (about 6 weeks) Kathi had emergency surgery and was rushed to the new Riverton Hospital (IHC) here in the Utah Valley and I have to say it was the most peaceful, amazing experience I have had in any hospital. I’ll make some posts about this, cause it’s a heck of a story.
So, naturally we decided to investigate the OBGYN‘s at that facility. Kathi is fine, for those who are wondering (or have been worried) and thus far, she’s doing OK, as is the baby. There are many test whch have to be done on February 1st, and the Doctor brought up the possibility of a Down Syndrome child, due to Kathi’s age. The amazin thing about my wife is–she just loves our children and counts it a blessing to have them. We will adress that if it comes up and move forward with love and excitment.
The OBGYN Doctor turned out to be a woman. Oh I would have loved to be there for that conversation! LOL. Kathi said there was a minor war of wills between them: the doctor being a mother and professional, while Kathi has delivered 8 children at home (my beautiful mamma veteran) without so much as an aspirin and knows her body and how it functions. We only decided to go to a doctor because we could not find any Midwives we had confidence in within our new area. Aparently they exchanged desires of how this birth will happen in the Hospital, and according to Kathi’s version it sounded like a bartering match at a flea market!
When it was over, aparently Kathi got the attention of the staff, because she had the doctor agreeing to many terms of how she would be free to wander, no IV, etc., and left with a huge smile on her face.
Did I mention how much I like my wife?
