Complications

Well Chloe is having some complications this morning. The nurse came in to tell me that after I had nursed her during the night, her color started going from pink to grey and that her oxygen had been really low. So they have her on oxygen now, and the blood work they did on her last night suggested that she might have some infection, so they have her on IV antibiotics for the next 48 hours minimum. 🙁 They also ordered a chest x-ray, and it came back a bit cloudy/streaky, so the doctor said that could be showing an infection, or it could just be fluid that is still in her system from having just been born. I also have a high white blood cell count so they are going to be putting me on antibiotics as well as soon as we hear from the midwife that is on call today so that the nurses know which antibiotic to give me. So now I’m wondering what was causing the fever in me yesterday, because it seems to have caused all these other problems. 🙁

Doesn’t she just look so sad with that needle taped to her arm. 🙁
