Hi all! Just thought I would put out a quick update. We had an exciting, scary, crazy few days. Went to the doc on Friday for a checkup and she immediate
Y sent me to the hospital for an emergency c-section based on my protein and blood levels in my urine, along with the severity of my swelling. Got the the hospital at 1030 and the Kaitlyn and Jocelyn were born just after 2 PM. They are doing wonderful and weighed right around 6 pounds each. Unfortunately, for me I developed full eclampsia, and went into seizures awhile in recovery. I spent 3 days in ICU, and only got to hold my girls for the first time last night. DH was amazing taking care of them on his own the first few nights. We are finally all together and I'm on tremendous amounts of drugs to reduce my swelling, and lower my blood pressure...both of which I still have. I'm truly glad I don't remember much of anything that transpired although most of the medical staff told me I had conversations about things while in recovery. I'm so excited to have my girls and glad they are doing so well. Hopefully, we will all be released tomorrow and be together as a family at home. All I can say, is thank god for such a wonderful medical staff, that took care of me, and my family!
Needless to say Valentine's Day is my new favorite holiday!
