Well just a little update!!

I thought I was going to be released today but upon further "investigation" the nurses and doctors decided to keep me here for a couple more days. The doctor from infections and disease came and looked at my incision today and took a swab so they could find out what parasite I have so they can give me medicine specifically for whatever bug I have. While she took a swab she put the swab inside of my incision to see how far over the pocket of fluid went and it's pretty much the whole incision. So they are doing an ultrasound first thing in the morning to see just how much fluid has built up inside. Then they will decide if they need to open it back up and drain it out!! They have also put me on maximum antibiotics!! So pretty much doubled the dose..
So I will be here at least one more day... The good thing is that I get to see Angelynn more. I saw her 3 times today!!

Also she is back up to her birth weight of 700grams. Hopefully it will keep going up. Also I got to help change her diaper. That had Jay and I pretty choked up. And when im better and on the proper antibiotics they are going to start kangaroo mother care. I cant tell u how excited I am. I can't even think about it without almost crying. So hopefully next week I will get to hold my baby girl for the very first time So keep praying that they fix me!!! Anyways off to watch some TV with Jay and get some "cuddle" time. I miss it

I just got home from spending time with both my girls

I went and saw them this morning before work (I started late)

then in the late afternoon/eve after my first job (I'm an independent general contractor,.. more of a glorified handyman so I sometimes have many job sites on the go)

I then took Steph out of her room for dinner at the [sarcasm] classy hospital restaurant [/sarcasm]

It was a nice escape from the general tray food,.. at least ours was cooked right on the spot.

Then we saw Angelynn together.

Off to my 2nd job till 9pm,.. back to see steph and baby,.. then relaxing time (40mins) in the lounge area watching TV with steph till 11pm - time for me to leave
General visiting ends at 9pm,.. the nurses let me stay till 11pm

I sure am tired.



Steph told me when they took the swab they put it right in the hole on her incision,.. ended up going a couple inches with it too

I'm glad I didn't see it,.. I probably would've become ill watching.
