Love you guys,
mel

Thanks everyone. The section wouldn't have been so bad if I didn't need one.  Ava was sunny side up, head tilted way back, plus I wasn't dialating past a 7 and her head wasn't engaging. So, anxiety ridden mel was wheeled into the OR. Everything went great except for one thing. The doc had to cut through some blood vessels to get to the uterus. Well, never in all his life and thousands of surgeries had he seen blood vessels like the ones I had. They were very large, in bunches and some were the size of this THUMB. Turns out it was from endometriosis.
Anyway, I lost 1 liter of blood, my blood pressure dropped and I felt like just going to sleep. But they stabilized me, thank GOD!
Wouldn't you know it, the next night (Sat.) I ended up with an anxiety attack. Oh my how wonderful Ativan is!
When Jesse & Eli came to get me today, Eli was sick and threw up in the car on the way there and in my hospital room before we were about to leave. He's doing better now, so at least that's good.
So I'm home now, on percocet and taking my xanax when I need it. I'll be taking my 1st Cymbalta pill in the morning. Things just have GOT to get better from here!

Take care of you and your family for now Melly.
Rest up and don't be in a big hurry to do anything more than tend to Ava.
Thanks for thinking of us at this time and posting pictures of your awesome family.
Hugs

Wow!! What an experience youhave been through! Ava is beautiful and it looks like she is going to have a wonderful big sister and brother to help her out. They both look tickled "pink" Take care of yourself and take any and all help you can get. Thanks for keeping in touch, now go rest up! Congratulations to the whole family!!

Sorry to hear that you've had such a rough time, Mel, but I'm happy to hear that everything turned out okay. Take your time to recover--I know that's easier said than done, but don't push yourself too much. We worry.
Ava's beautiful.
Best always,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Thanks for sharing Mel but don't over do it. Take it easy for a bit. I know from watching my wife recover from c-sections that it takes a lot out of you. And her's didn't have the complications your's did. We'll be patient. Anyone who isn't will have to answer to me
Your whole family is beautiful. Ava is a perfect addition to complete the set. I couldn't be happier for you guys!

AVA is gorgeous... so when exactly was her birthday? and sorry Mel... I know what its like to have to have a section after trying for a long time... it seems the endometriosis was probably the cause of the inconsistant labor and not dialating... all that extra stuff causes kinks in the birthing world. They told me that because I had such major scar tissue from my first C section that it made Sean take an extra turn which made him breach... hence my second section... then Breezy did the same thing... so I had a third section too... not fun... didn't have the blood vessel problems... ewwwwwwwwwww glad you are ok... heal so that you can be the rollerskating momma we know you to be...
love ree
ps absolutely BEAUTIFUL family... you are blessed...

the yawn pic is absolutely PRICELESS!!!!!!
Melly, 2 words: cough pillow. That did wonders for my anxiety about busting the staples (both kids c-section). The very best you can do for yourself is rest as often as possible, but make yourself get yourself up and move around when you're able to. Hurts like hell I know, but you'll be amazed at how quickly you recover from that.
Did I mention the yawn pic is PRICELESS??!!!!
Good job mom.

Wow. You've been put through the mill, sweetie. But that's now going to fade into a memory. You'll soon be healed, and a new adventure in the life of your family will begin with Ava's daily new accomplishments.
Exciting times ahead. Bless you and your beautiful family.
