I am still in the high risk ward today but am finally starting to feel more normal. I am still on magnesium. They were supposed to stop it last night but instead had to bump up the dose to double because I was twitchy and hyperreflexive. I only started to decrease my reflexes today so the magnesium got decreased again. As long as I am on magnesium I am stuck in bed and have a catheter. Cannot stand well or even sit too long or else I pass out. And, most importantly, I cannot go and see Daniel except for whenever the nurses take me in a wheelchair. Except sitting in a wheelchair makes me pass out so it is a brief brief visit, if at all.
I am making three drops of colostrum at each pumping session. It does not seem like making milk is my body's highest priority right now. Recovering from the preeclampsia/csection/hysterectomy/hemorrhage/electrolyte abnormalities is a bigger priority. Oh well. I will continue to pump and hope for the best.
Hi, you just get better and all will be well. We continue to think of you.
