I Am Struggling To Keep Myself Together

If it wasn't for my husband and daughter needing me, I'd be gone.

@Medelan I know that feeling too ,and I have prayed for your child
Our son almost died when he was 3 weeks old ,
He could not keep any formula down ,and nothing they tried worked
I kept begging them to run tests on him ,but until they witnesses the projectile vomiting ,they only changed his formula
When he lost so much weight he looked like a baby bird and his skin just hung on him ,they finally did the test that revealed a birth defect that required surgery ,he was so dehydrated they couldn't draw blood ,,they had to cut "V"notches in his skin to force a drop of blood from him ,I was so scared
They had to build him up with IV's for 4 days to operate and he was not allowed any food ,,his little face was burned with stomach acid from vomiting
until they gave him antacids ,,while the hospital also botched his Moms "C" section ,leaving a hole in her abdomen after 3 weeks big enough to stick your fist in ,,and 5 months of wound care for her until I finally called a Senator
and that put the fear of God in them and a surgeon finally repaired the mess the obgyn made ,,it was a very scary few months ,,but Mom and son came out of it fine ,
But I did a lot of cussing people out ,and a lot of praying
I pray all goes well and you child comes out of it fine
I do understand that feeling
For a time I thought I was going to lose my son and his Mom
every day for 5 months I was at the hospital begging someone to help
I was doing wound care at home and having to have her at the hospital every day ,and we almost went broke
Its a damn shame I have had to call a senator twice ,to get doctors to do their jobs ,,,while they played games with my loved ones life
