Yesterday was a hard day for me. After the c-section, I was put in a different maternity ward, due to lack of space. I am not on the same floor as the NICU. The nurse I had, was pretty horrible. She refused to allow me to get out of bed, see the baby, try to pump my milk, eat, or remove my catheter. She also couldn't do a single thing right, and took over an hour to give me any pain killers that I asked for.
Thankfully, I had a wonderful night nurse, who disagreed with everything the previous nurse had done. So, today, I'm up and about! Unfortunately, I needed a CT scan because they thought I had a collapsed lung. The medication that they administered makes my milk unusable for 24 hours. In the end, my lungs are fine and I just have a strained muscle under my ribs.
They are trying to find me room in the right ward today.
I got to see Tehilla this morning, for the first time since the birth. It's incredible the way you can fall so deeply in love in a matter of seconds. She's so sweet and has the cutest little thighs. I am waiting for the doctors to do their rounds soon to get an update.
Last night, she had a lot of trouble breathing and was put on a ventilator. Her oxygen saturation level was pretty low as well. This is either due to her HLHS or because of the medication they gave her to keep the hole between both sides of her heart open.
Here are some pictures:
