News blackout

Eoin on a recent rainy day.

 So apologies for the lack of photos and news this last week but we have had quite a week. Last Wednesday morning Eoin decided I was the coolest Mommy on the block as we had a fire truck at our house. This was down to Andy calling 911 as I was very ill. Fast forward 48 hours, a contrast CT and ultrasound and I was headed into the OR for exploratory surgery because the doctors couldn't work out what the heck was going on (apart from maybe deep endometrial pain).

So it turned out that I had appendicitis but here was the kicker my appendix was stuck to my left ovary. The surgeon also discovered I was about a month away from a full bowel obstruction from some of the worst endometriosis she had ever seen. Fast another 24 hours and I'm healing nicely till I start coughing and having a fever. I had bi-lateral pneumonia!

But after five days in hospital I am now home and doing really well. Today I actually managed a few chores and a walk round the block. Andy has been amazing a real rock. He has looked after Eoin and done a great job. Our friends rallied and delivered food to our door every night I was in hospital and offered tons of babysitting so Andy could see me in hospital.

Overall Eoin did well. We had a few behavioural issues after day two of me being away but now he is back to normal. On my first night home he cuddled up to me in bed - every part of his body had to be touching mine and he looked at me and said 'Mommy I love you. Will you be here in the morning?'
 He broke my heart but I am very very thankful to say yes I will be home for a long time to come.
