A really rough few days...
On May 10th I had an emergency c-section after being in active labor and my baby not coming down far enough. Her heart beat kept dropping out, so they had to order the c-section quickly. I had my beautiful baby girl at 1:26pm that day, and was the happiest momma in the world! We spent 3 days in the hospital before heading home. After being home for a couple days, things just weren't getting any better and my pain seemed to increase instead of starting to subside. I had my post op check up, and my doctor didn't notice anything and sent me home with more pain medication. I was suffering from uncontrollable chills and shakes in the nights, and after talking to another on call doctor one evening, she said it was my hormones and had to do with my milk production increasing, and for me to drink more fluids. Well, this past Wednesday evening, I began to drain profusely from my incision site, accompanied by a horrible odor. I went to the ER and had a CT scan done and they found cellulitis and endometritis, two infections. I was glad I went, but barely being gone from my baby for 6 hours at that point, I missed her so much. Now it's been close to 5 days away from my little girl, and it's the worst feeling in the world. My doctor says I will be here until Wedensday or Thuraday to be on the safe side before heading home. And I definitely don't want her coming up to see me at the hospital, don't want to take that risk whatsoever. I hate being away from her so badly, I just cry every time I think about it! I wouldn't wish this on any new mom. I can't wait to get home to snuggle and kiss her. This has been a terribly rough few days, and I still have several ahead of me... 😭😭😭😭
