Dan was right

So I was able to write in here - Sat? Maybe it was Sunday. Well, put it this way - by Monday night, I was being readmitted to the hospital. Not realizing it, but I had managed to open up my incision to the point that fatty cells under the skin had started to pertrude outside my wound. Dan was really freaked out, and I will admit, that I didn't take it as seriously as I should have at first. After calling the oncall Doctor, and being told that yes, I should go the ER, I succummed and had Dan bring me to the Hospital again. I knew it was serious when they didn't even tell me to wait in the waiting room, they put me on a gurney in the hallway and put a screen around me with an attendant right away.

That was about 11 pm On Monday night. By 7:30 am, my Dr. was performing surgery on me to close it back up. Only good thing, he didn't put the fatty cells back.. Yeah - I got a mini tummy tuck. :) It really didn't hurt, and that's pretty much why I think I didn't think too much out of it. I couldn't see what Dan could see.

I had a really hard time coming out of the surgery. I remember them telling me to breath, and I couldn't. That was a mixture of asthma, pre-eclampsia, and being scared to death I think. I do know that I wouldn't want to drown, that's for sure, because I'm pretty sure that's what it would feel like coming out of the surgery. I couldn't breath.

So for the last week, I have been lounging in the hospital again. Although this time, I truly feel like I was knocked down a peg from God to say - HEY, wake up and take care of yourself. I have a "wound" Vac that I have to have a nurse come take care of for me at the house. I also have to ask for help as much as possible now.

So I apologize for not passing the word on my situation, but my phone was lucky to make it through the week as it was.

On an upscale - Gunnar is doing Wonderful. He no longer has a breathing tube, or a C-Pap. He only has the feeding tube to help him continue to take the breast milk that I was able to give him before I got put back in hospital. He's our little man. Just as tiny as he is, he is doing wonderful for his size. As of today 3 lbs. 10 OZ. We will find if he grew in length on Sundays so I will update that soon, but as of birth he was 17 in.
