On 12-21-21 my wife gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. We are more then overjoyed with the addition to our family as this is our first. But the joy was short lived as my wife started having complications right after. She was loosing blood after the delivery and thy could not stop it. Thy eventually got it stopped and she had lost over 2L. She was very anemic which she was taking medication for to get her blood back up.

Then one night she tested her blood pressure and it was very high. We ran to the emergency room and she was diagnosed with preeclampsia which can be fatale if not treated for. Then last week she started noticing and very hard lump on her left side. That quickly started to hurt and grow. Thy prescribed an antibiotic but after 3 days it did not help. So Sunday we took her to the emergency room because it was the size of a base ball and she had a temp of 101. The instantly admitted her and put her on an antibiotic IV.

She will be there all week as thy take care of the infection. So I am home all alone taking care of our new son and today I’m going to go in and stay with her for the rest of the week. Sorry for bringing this here I just needed to kinda let it out and I feel like we are all family here. Thanks for listening guys. If I have missed emails over the last few weeks this is why and I am very sorry.

Congratulations on becoming a Father, one of the Greatest joys in life. Smoke and Prayers inbound for a Speedy recovery for the Wife. Stay Strong Brother!!!
 
Congrats on your son. Prayers for your wife and you. Hang in there.

I went through this with my first son. Eclampsia is a funny word, but there is nothing funny about it. Stopped in time it will usually go away.
