My sister in law is in the hospital. Mommy to my week old nephew.
When she delivered my neice 3 years ago she had to go for an emergency C-Section. My sister in law is so tiny there were complications....heart rates soared as did temperatures and that was that for a vaginal delivery. 3-4 weeks later she was rushed to hospital in septic shock due to an infection that had basically taken over her entire abdominal cavity. She was in ICU for almost 2 weeks. We almost lost her.
This time, the C-Section was scheduled and planned. No chances were being taken with a vaginal birth as it was so likely she would not be able to deliver that way anyway. Everyone felt assured that since this was planned that the risk of infection would be dramatically lowered.
Yesterday evening she started getting chills. A couple hours later she spiked a fever. Rush to emerg. Now hoping and praying that if its the start of an infection that they are able to nip it in the bud before it gets any worse.
I'm very afraid. I feel like with all that has happened over the last year or so with our family, that this is an extension of the horrible losses we have experienced. I can't shake the feeling that the 'powers that be' are not done with us yet.... and she is lying helpless in the oncoming path.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let her be ok.
My heartfelt thoughts are with you all. Fingers crossed things have been caught early enough and will be ok in time. Sending you very big hugs!!!! xxx
