Update

I'm not sure how much everyone knows about what has been going on, but here's the story. Three weeks after the c-section, I had a big hard knot in my stomach. Having the infection after Sarah, I wasn't quite sure what was normal, but when a long red line appeared above my incision I called the doctor to make an appointment. They were going to see me the next day. That night, around 2am, I was sleeping in the recliner when Jane woke up. I twisted in my chair to lift her and my incision popped open and blood literally POURED out. I ran down the hallway leaving a trail of blood behind me and jumped in the bath. There was probably 2 cups of blood in the bathtub and I was really worried I was going to bleed to death. Then I saw clots in the blood. I called my doctor's office and they connected me to the doctor on call. She told me it wasn't life threatening, but to go to the ER. We loaded up the babies and went to the hospital where they gave me a cat scan to determine if I was still bleeding into my abdomen or what was going on. Lucky for me, I was not still bleeding, but a large hematoma had formed on my abdominal wall. At 12:30pm that day I had surgery to remove the hematoma. Additional incisions were made to insert drains into my abdomen in order to prevent fluid build up that could become an infection. I was not able to nurse for the first 24 hours after the scan because the dye they use can be passed through breast milk. Jane had to have formula for a whole day and at night when she was home with Tyler. Tyler had to take both our children home every night and be a single parent. He did a great job. I don't know what I would have done if it hadn't been for him. After 3 days in the hospital, we were released to go home. It has been a week and a half since my second surgery and my wound is weeping quite a bit. This is what happened when my infection in my c-section incision started after I had Sarah. They had me on heavy duty antibiotics, but I'm finished taking them. I see the doctor again on Wednesday to determine whether it is, in fact, infected or not, so I'd appreciate anyone who wants to pray that it won't become an infection. Possible infection aside, I am feeling a lot better without the hematoma. I was still in quite a bit of pain and was starting to get frusterated that I was still hurting that bad 3 weeks after the c-section. That's what has been going on here. I hope things are well with everyone out there!
