In reply to: Beth 's message, "Christine, are you in the hospital having your hernia repaired???" on 21:06:30 08/10/06 Thu

Strangely enought eh hernia has almost repaired itself except for the very bottom where the problem started. I am very surprised and relieved. It doesn't happen often but the midwife said that it does happen from time to time. It proves to me that it was his size that caused the hernia.

It has been a rough couple of days for me. The birth was nice, fast and without complication. My complications started after. I had a very bad hemorage that we have had a terrible time getting back under control, I am positive that it is directly due to the size of the baby. I was put on bed rest and I am still on bed rest for now. I was threatened with being sent to the hospital for iv's and worse if I didn't follow strict rules! UGH.. Yesterday when they checked my iron level I was totally anemic, I was like a 6, so now I have to take iron, chloraphyly and a few other things to boost my iron levels. As well as all of the herbs and suppliments and pills I have taken to slow down the bleeding.

On top of all of that, we have had non stop visitors. It is very sweet as people barely cared in the past and no-one ever visited. But honestly I am tired and don't want any more people to come over for ages. The good, my cousins were nice enough to do some quick shopping for us on their way over. The bad my my dad was out of town the night Jack showed up so the nxt night (Wednesday) he got home and came over here at 9:30 at night when the kids were in bed and the whole house went nuts and Jack didn't settle back down for hours. My brother called at 10 the same night and wanted to come over (BIG NO to him) and now he is mad. The next day my step-mom dropped my little sister off for us to babysit while she ran errands (WTH?) And yesterday Susie wanted us to take her daughter for the weekend because she had plans (Again wth? and BIG NO!) Sometimes I just don't get people.

I am sure that I have forgotten something but I am just now felling slightly level headed and not trying to pass out all of the time anymore so I guess that is a good thing. I will upload pictures a little later today.

I hope everyone is doing well.

Christine
