Its been a rough three weeks after having Kayla. Kayla was finally released from the NICU 10 days after I had her. If you do not remember I was in labor for over 40 hours with pitocin and not dilating. The entire week she was in NICU I had a very high fever of 103.5. Went back to Dr said it was a kidney infection. Took my antibiotics and nothing helped. Two days after her release I finally went to a different hospital and was admitted. My stomach (yes this is gross) pretty much just broke open, not the incision but above my belly button. My skin just ripped apart and i was gushing fluid. I developed gangrene, and had nasty lesions just pouring fluid. I spent close to two weeks in ICU and had two more surgeries to get the infection out. I had 4 infections strep b, staph, and two others I can not pronounce. The last surgery I ended up having a wound vac. Which is a sponge attached to a tube that drains my infection. I now have to incisions one is about 8 inches long and the other only about 4, both attached to these sponges and tubes. I have a pick line that I hook up to IVS twice a day. I have a visiting nurse come 3 times a week to change my sponges and tubes, let me just say that is the most painful thing ever.
Now I know why people avoid c sections at all costs. Its a very rare thing that happened to me. Everyone is telling me to sue the Dr that made me labor so long to cause the infection. My incision was perfect, it was all internal affecting most of my organs. I don't even care about the law suit I just want to get back to normal. I hate having tubes and a machine I have to take with me where ever I go. It is so hard taking care of a newborn being in so much pain and being attached to machines and IVS.
Sorry for my complaining I just had to get this out. It has been very rough dealing with all this. I am very happy Kayla is healthy, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat if I had to.
I am glad everyone is doing well, I missed reading all the updates and wondered how everyone was while I was in ICU. Take care and thanks for reading

Suing the doctor for letting you labor is one of the reasons why so many doctors are so eager to cut.
. I hope you continue to heal and the infections clear up soon.
