Oh How We Love The Hospital

The weeks since the arrival of our precious little boy have been filled with new learning experiences and lots of surprises. One of those surprises has been finding out that I have a blood clot in my left leg. OH MY!!! After the swelling started going away after the birth I noticed that my left leg was still slightly swollen and it was in a lot of pain most days. At my first check-up the docs thought all was well and weren't worried. However, when the pain did not go away and only seemed to get worse, I made another appointment and this time they sent me for a doplar (sp?) on my leg to rule out a clot. They really didn't think I had one. I guess the joke was on them! This meant being admitted to the hospital and the possibility of having to stay 3-7 days. UGH! I can't begin to tell you how much this idea did not sit well with me and frankly is still not. So here I am getting pumped full of blood thinners and waiting until they say my blood levels are where they need to be so that they can send me home. Right now it's looking like Sunday is the magic day and we're hoping they stick with that. Michael has been great though and I have been able to see, hold, feed and change Xander while I've been here. Michael's family have also been great helping us to take care of him while Michael is at work and at night so Michael can get some sleep. All I can really say though is I miss my boys and I just want to go home.
