Volvulus (twisted bowel)

Ada • AC

Am yet to write my birth story but I thought I should write about my after birth story first to help anyone going through the same thing.

3 days after giving birth to our son, he started vomiting. We were still at the Hospital at this point because he had jaundice. Our nurse thought the vomiting was normal but I had my doubts.

At 10:30pm thst same evening it got worse. The colour of his vomit was dark green. That's when our nurse called the doctor and we were immediately taken to the NICU. 2 hours later the ambulance from the children's hospital showed up and picked us up. In less than 1 hour of getting there, he had a surgery to have his bowel twisted and also had

his appendix removed.

Our son will be 1 month tomorrow, but I still live on an edge. Have anyone been through this before?
