Today Liam is 5 months old. I can't tell you how fast these past few months have flown by. I wish this was his 5mo post but unfortunately I am in the hospital and unable to post his pics. I will get the post up soon after I get home. As to why I'm in the hospital; Last week 12/12 I had an outpatient surgery that I developed an infection from. Yesterday I was admitted in the hopes of another surgery that evening but it ended up being pushed to this morning. My doctor basically went in to take a look and flush the area. I did have an infected area and I'm praying that she was able to clean it and that all the swelling will go down. I've been on alot of antibiotics. Of course this is probably the worst time of year to be in the hospital. I haven't gotten to talk to my doctor since before surgery but she told my mom that "hopefully" I will be able to go home before the holidays. :( I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Kinda feels like when Liam was in the hospital, the unknown. I do thank God that its me in the hospital and not either of my kiddos. Our family has seen entirely too much of Baylor hospital this year. I will have to have one more surgery to re-stitch the area in the future once the infection is completely gone. Ugh, this has not been a fun week and a half. I can't wait to get back home with my babies, this week has been rough on my little Avery Jo. She's been asking about mommy and saying "is mommy getting better?". I know its hard on her that I can't pick her up, get down and play with her and overall be there like normal.
** update; I did get released on Christmas Eve and was able to spend Christmas with the Rhodes family and see Avery's face Christmas morning when Santa had arrived. She was very excited. I'm still working on trying to heal, it may be a long process, I'd appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers!**
