This week has been a nightmare. I started having a reaction from my c-section on my inscision that started to get inflamed and swollen. I called my Ob/Gyn..went in on Mon. and he didn't even know what to do..so he sends me to my family practioner, I go over there and she gives me a steroid shot and antihistamine for an allergic reaction to the steri strips on my inscision. 2 days later and it is moving up my stomach and down my legs and really really gross!!! Today I get up to the sound of Zane vomitting and Trenton TOO!! while I was nursing Claire! Thank goodness my mom came up yesterday but with her hip surgery a few months ago..she is struggling to help me. They did take off my tape and wrapped me in gauze, gave me antibiotics ( just another in top of the 5 I'm already taking!!) and a steroid cream....whew this has been another confirmation that my family is complete. But the awesome part is that I have a perfectly healthy new baby girl!
