- I had Lucy! She's born, she's beautiful, she came into the world in a very eventful way on August 1.
- I almost died. Twice while giving birth due to an amniotic fluid embolism. More on that later.
- I actually remember nothing because I was in a coma and I sustained a whole list of damage from the AFE and subsequent surgery to save my life essentially.
- I start my follow up appointments today- first up, neurology. I'm hoping I can get some answers and start feeling like a normal person.
- Until then, I can't be left alone, I can't drive, my activity is limited, and I basically feel like a prisoner but I understand why. There have been times where I have seriously wondered why I was even allowed to leave- I'm obviously in no condition to be on my own. Thankfully I have a ton of friends and family dropping off meals, helping with the big kids, basically making sure I don't live in filth here. It's really nice.
So more soon. I didn't want to go too many days and have you wondering if I actually died. Almost, but I'm not quite ready.
Always, always thinking of you girl. xoxox
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and take care.
ReplyDeleteI hope your appointments go well! And I'm thankful for Facebook so I knew you didn't die. Though knowing what was going on before getting updates of good news was definitely scary! So glad you're okay (well, I know you've got a lot of shit to deal with...so more like glad you're ALIVE!).
ReplyDeleteLucy is beautiful! I hope you continue to recover. Take all the help you can get and be patient (I know, I know!). Love and hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteLucy is gorgeous! Her name is just perfect. You have to know I held my breath every time I opened Instagram to look for new posts in your feed and waited for updates on GoFundMe. I am so happy you're home and that you have a network of support helping you and your family.
