Well, I'm a great-aunt for the second time in a year. Evan joined our family on February 28th and weighed in at 7 lbs. 10 oz. Welcome to our family Evan, and congratulations to Mom, Sherry and Dad, Robert.
Update on Michelle:
This morning at 10:30, Brandon phoned and said, "Grandma, Mom is bleeding and fluid is coming out of her incision. Dad has to take her to the clinic. Can you come and stay with me?"
I told Brandon that no, I couldn't come and stay with him but to let me talk to Mom. I asked her which clinic she was going to and she told me. I had hubby meet them there and bring Brandon home to stay here.
The Gyn had to open Michelle's incision and drain the fluid off. On Thursday it was looking fine. Friday it had a little red spot again. By yesterday it was sore and today when she got out of the shower, it started draining really bad. The Gyn took care of it and put a dressing on. Tomorrow a nurse is coming in to change the dressing and Michelle sees her regular Gyn on Tuesday morning. Please keep her in your prayers.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm improved from yesterday when I had a fever, the chills and slept most of the day. From Friday night to this morning I didn't do much but sleep. I would get up for short intervals, but would have to rest again within an hour. So I'm greatly improved. Thanks for your prayers for me. All of your care and concern is appreciated more than you know.
I'm signing off for tonight. I will try to catch up on all your blogs as soon as possible. ~Blessings, Mary~
Congratulations on your new family member. Over ten pounds is a big baby.
ReplyDeleteI have prayed for Michelle and hope she is healed soon.
I'm glad you are feeling better too.
Have a great week.
That must be discouraging to Michelle! I trust it will not happen again.
ReplyDeleteJust think - your new baby is the size of our two together at 8 weeks!
Mountain Mama,
ReplyDeleteI made a mistake, which isn't abnormal for the way I've been feeling. Evan weighed 7 lbs 10 oz. Thanks so much for bringing that to my attention.
Dawn,
Like I told Mama, that was a mistake. Senior's moment or mind haze? My apologies for the error.
Thanks, Ladies for your comments.
Blessings,
Mary
Oh Mary...so sorry to hear that she has had some complications with her stitches and I'll be praying for her!
ReplyDeleteAnd sorry you got hit with that nasty flu! I did have that last month, too...not fun! Hope you continue to be on the mend!
But congratulations, dear great-auntie, on the new baby boy in your family!
Anyway, praying for you and your daughter this week...
Blessings,
~Tammy

I hope....HOPE that Michelle's infection clears up without any more mishaps!!! That's spooky.
ReplyDeleteAnd I do hope that you'll be your ol' chipper self in no time!
You were in Rain Man? Where, where?!! I just watched it last week! Tell me....where do I look for you? What are you wearing? Do tell.
Mary,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that Michelle has had this complication. I'm glad she will have the nurse to change the dressing and make sure all is as it should be. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.
I will also keep you in my thoughts and prayers. That sure sounds like the flu. The fatigue is incredible.
Congratulations for the new addition to the family! Another cousing for Brandon and Jordan to play with. They will set fine examples for their little cousins to look up to!! :-)
Take care, my friend!
Hugs,
Tina
Congratulations on the new arrival to your family!!! I’m sorry to learn Michelle needed this procedure, and sincerely hope getting necessary treatment will aid in her recovery. Sleep is what your body needs to recover … so please let yourself rest as much as possible and don’t worry about us. We’re just fine … and praying for all of you!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
I will keep Michelle in my prayers. I know she will be glad when she is well and able to get back to some sort of a normal life.
ReplyDeleteDearest Mary,
ReplyDeleteI'm just now getting around to visiting my friends for the first time since Thursday...I'm so sorry to hear that you've been ill. I do pray and hope that you feel better real soon!!
Poor Michelle, she was doing so well and certainly didn't need this complication! Hopefully everything will heal properly this time. My prayers are with her.
Congratulations on the new baby in the family:-) Hopefully you can get a picture of him soon to share with us!! I so love babies!
Take good care of yourself dear friend. xoxo
Oh dear, I sure hope Michelle gets better soon. Hopefully all goes well now.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you are feeling better. Hope that you stay well.
Congratulations on the new addition to the family. Babies are so very precious.
I will keep you and yours in my prayers.
I hope Michelle continues to improve and that the worst is over for her.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new arrival.
Sorry you're ill; that flu or whatever nasty bus it is can really lay us low.
My computer crashed for a week and just now catching up with my friends.
Congratulations on the birthday of Evan!! I'm sorry to hear your daughter is having complications, I will be sure to say a prayer for her.
