Gabe's Update 3/12/07


Well today was a good day for Daddy and Gabe! We went up to the hospital, I had to go into the E.R., I pulled a bunch of staples out and have been in the most tremendous pain. I had called My Dr's Office and they referred me to the E.R. because of everything else going on. (the open wound, bleeding and pain and my prothrombin disorder) So I got to visit the E.R. waiting room while Daddy got to visit Gabe. Daddy went up and He changed Gabe's diaper, he looked and it had a lil poopie stain on it and he thought, "oh how cute" so he pulls the diaper out from underneath him and Gabe pooped all over Daddy!! *HE HE HE HE HE!!!!*
Kevin had to change him, his outfit, his linens and everything! So, Daddy had his first poopie encounter!
Gabe is up to 40cc's every 3 hrs and tolerating well, Tomorrow I am going to attempt to BF him!! I cannot wait! I have been pumping and trying so hard to get that going and it's just not going as I had hoped, maybe him feeding directly will give me the stimulation I need to produce more. He is off O2 and They removed the IV line. So, we are making good progress! And I had to miss it all! :( Talk about hurt and disappointed! I cried on the way home, and not just from pain.

I will be up to the hospital in the morning to be with him and hopefully get an Appt. with the Women's Health Center since I never got seen in the E.R. - I sat there in pain, more than 3 hrs with a possible wait of 2 to 3 more!?!?! I was hurting so badly I was shaking and sick to my stomach. I finally left and told them I would call the Dr. in the morning because I couldn't hang in there anymore and I had kids coming home from school and it was a big mess! - I saw people in that E.R. waiting room, one guy bleeding all over and he said he had been in there for 3 hrs like that with a soaked towel full of blood, and still bleeding!! WT#?? My Mom said we should write a letter to the Hospital Board & local paper and say something, that is just aweful, they provide such good care, I can't believe their E.R. would be run so poorly!

So I just got home a bit ago and took pain meds and I am ready to be poured under the covers. I am in bed where I will stay until 8 am when I call the Dr. to get an appt and then I'm going to see my little boy!!
