I Am Home From the Hosp!!!!
Posted: 08-17-04 00:51am

Hey girls I just thought I would jump on here while hayley was sleeping and tell you all I finally got to come home today I got here at 5pm. Hayley is so wonderful and I could not be more happy.
*labor story*
here goes...
Sunday at 7pm went in for the cervidel and hayley would not stay on the monitor so they had to brake my water that night and put in an internal monitor to watch her. I was only like 1-2cm when she did that it was so painful she had to put in her two fingers and then hooks and then the monitor. Anyways they started the pitocin that night and I was having contractions before I knew it. Me and my brother were playing yahtzee and I had to quit. My mother kept watching the toco number for me and would tell me when they started to go down. I was having back labor which is the worst labor to have!!! Anyways8 ours later still dialated 1-2cm and having contractions like every 3 seconds so I gave up and took the epi which did not hurt at all. Theonly hurtful part was bending my head down putting pressure on belly while having contractions. Wll I was relieved enough to go to sleep. Thaat night hayleys heartrate dropped to the 80's and I was bound to oxygen and my left side for the rest of the night!!! It was terrible. So I survived through the night and morning came the doc checked me because when her heartrate dropped they ran something through my veins really quick to get the pitocin out. I was still 3cm so she decided to try the pitocin again. In an hour in half I believe I dialated to 6 then in the last 2 hours I dialated to 10. The doc was giving me 30 more minutes and all the sudden as my father and everybody was walking me in the room the docs (like 5) grabbed my bed and through up the bars, rushed down the hall and almost knocked my family over. No explanations or anything. So my mother finally got back there and they told her what happened. Hayley heart dropped to 60 beats per min!!!! They took out the epi that I had and out in a new one apparently the other was not running right. Then they made sure I was numb and cut me open. 4 in. Mom seen it all they did not hang the curtains all the way and she had to watch! Well hayley was stuck. She had got under some organs and the doc had to yank her when he did her shoulder came out first and ripped my uterus 3 inches!!!! After being cut 4 she ripped it 3 more!! Well anytime you have an injury to your uterus they check your bladder cause they are so close. The only options they had was to cut open the top of my bladder and put iodine in the iv and see if the valves were both spraying blue. Thank god they were. Anyways it took 3 1/2 hours to sow me back up and hayley had had the cord wrapped around her neck so we did not hear her cry. Instead she had passed miconium and they had to stick a tube like thing down her nose into her lungs and suck it all out. She was fine.
Well I got to recovery for an hour and then to my room and had lots of visitors.
I had a cathader in me for 6 days that was red. When they took it out I finally got to pee on my own only it was like every sec. And finally lightened up. I got to have a shower!!! 6 days with none so I felt brand new!!
Well my temp. Had been up to 101.8 and they were puttting me on cipro and then they realized it was not working so hte did a catscan to make sure eveything was sowed up fine. Well I had to get in a wheel chair for that and I felt this pop. So when I got back to my room I told mom I popped out a staple she called the doc and then she said it was just soething I call it syrup cause it kinda sounded like that, lol. Then got the main doc in. She said I found the problem!!! I said what she said I need to take out a stitch. She ended up taking them all out cause she discovered infection set up in my incision. Well she spread it back open cleaned it out and then packed it they want it to heal from the inside out instead of the outside in like your body does. So they put me on keflex and it started to work. My temp stayed 97.5 and 24 hours later they said you still wanna go home? Ha ha ha yes I do!!!
Well the good news is my baby girl and the bad is I cant have a shower for a month have to have a sponge bath. I have a home health nurse come to my house 2 times a day to to re-pack the wound and then I have a hosp. Bed being put in my room tomm. So I can get up. Terrible but my baby is all worth it!!!!
Her first doc appt. Is tomm at 11:45am and the nurse will be here at 9am so I need to go to sleep the best I can. I hope to here from you soon I am home now so call me!!!
Hayley is at www.Growingfamily.Com

She was 22 in. Long and 9lb and 7oz. Now 9lb and 4 oz. Hope to hear from you soon!!!
Lots of love heather and hayley

Thanks girls I hve not been on for while hayley is 11 days old now!!! I am so busy I mean I have a home health nurse coming to my house 2 times a day to change out the um well what will I call it? The wet to dry changing in my incision and then I cant hardly move to good yet so I dont geton much.
Hayley is a great baby. Right now she is sleeping which she does through the night!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so blessed with that seeing that I cant hardly get out of the bed to feed her to well. I guess everything works out lke it does for a reason. She weighs 9lb and 11oz now. Eats 4oz at each feeding!!! Has a great appetite. Well girls I want to say thanks a bunch on the comments on my hayley bean. Shauna thats okay about calling me I was busy that day I believe I got the cathedar out that day and all that stuff. Did you know they eneded up discharging hayley when she was 4 days old??? I was so upset but they said if somebody could stay at the hosp with me and her that she could stay just that the nursery was not responsible for her anymore and becasue I was a patient I could not take care of her myself. So my mom came and stayed the rest of my time there thank god!!! Okay well gonna make a couple new post. Lots of love,
heather and hayley

I am so sorry you had to go through all that! But I know hayley is worth all the pain. I cannot imagine having an open wound and letting it heal from the inside out. I have been on cipro and keflex before, and I hope you don't get sick off them like I did. I think they were too strong for me b/c I threw up everytime I took cipro! Good luck with everything and keep us updated!!

Love,
megan
