Ok, so 4 days after I had rylee (the day after we were discharged from the hospital) I had a horrible headache all day and nothing was helping it. I even called the hospital to see if I could take anything else but they said I couldn't since I was breastfeeding. That night my mom and I went grocery shopping so when we got home I went to feed rylee but she was sound asleep and wouldn't latch on so I layed her back down and went to eat so she would kinda wake up a little. I remember opening the refrigerator and then the next thing I know i'm waking up on the dining room floor with 2 paramedics hovering over me. It turned out that I had a siezure so they took me to the hospital and as soon as we got there I had 2 more. After the second and third seizures I lost most of my memory. I didn't even know that I had a baby! They did some ct scans and discovered that I had bleeding on the surface of my brain (a subarchnoid hemmorage). They thought I had an anuerism so they transfered me to a bigger hospital to have brain surgery. As soon as I got there they put me in icu. The doctor went out and got my mom and told her she might want to get my dad and my husband ( he was stuck at home alone with the 4 day old baby) there because they didn't think I was gonna make it through the night. They stabalized me and sent me for an angiogram which showed that the bleeding had stopped so they had to keep a close eye on me but I didn't have to have the brain surgery. I woke up the next afternoon in icu with no recollection of what had happened. I spent 2 days in icu and then another 2 days in a regular room. I only saw my baby once when I first got out of icu but I was only allowed to hold her for a few minutes. It was the hardest, scariest thing I have ever been through. They still don't know why my brain suddenly stopped bleeding but it saved me from having brain surgery. I had so many people praying for me and I must say that I am a true believer in the power of prayer! I'm still on seizure medication and I just started driving again last week but other than that things are finally starting to feel back to normal. This is also why they are telling me that I shouldn't have any more children. I don't mean to scare any of you but I do want everyone to know how serious eclampsia can be. Thanks for listening!
