Waiting to Go Home!

I just wanted to update everyone on Patty's and Avery's progress. Avery has been doing great. She is eating and sleeping and being the cutest little thing ever. No setbacks and always moving forward that is our little Avery. Patty is not having the same smooth recovery. It started before the birth. Patty had the very beginnings of an infection which raised her temperature and heartrate. After Avery arrived they started Patty on antibiotics for the infection. After two days of nausea and boughts with increasing pain, we discovered that the bacteria that caused the infection was resistant to the antibiotics she was given. So, now we must stay an extra 24 to 36 hours to make sure the new drug works. To top that off, the painkillers make her have trouble keeping food down so she was getting dehydrated. They had to redo the IV.....an hour and a half later and countless pricks she had a new IV in her arm. Poor girl has had it rough, but I am so proud of her being so strong. No matter how bad she feels she will not let herself miss a feeding for Avery, even though the nurses said they could give her a little formula so Patty could get more rest. She is a great Mommy!
