July 2009 Moms

Ok so let me post Tyren's horror story quickly....

Saturday afternoon after me and Tyren went nappy shopping (AGAIN), he was playing outside of our garage in the complex, and on the grass, as you see in most of my pics, he loves to play outside...

So we are nr 3, and our neighbor is nr1 up by the gate, and this neighbor was busy renovating a garden bench. He was using a grinder, and a wire brush attachment, but then he stopped and said that the brisles are breaking of and shooting everywhere, he will sand it down by hand rather. The next thing Tyren starts screaming, I thought he was tired, as nothing was wrong, I gave him some tea, and put him down again, oh man, he screamed blue murder and I knew something was wrong, I picked him up and ran home, when he tried to bend his leg he screamed, I knew something was wrong, and then I saw it, UNDERNEATH Tyrens skin was something pushing up towards his skin, and I knew something stuck into his knee.

We rushed him to our 24hour Medicross, where the locum there didn't give Tyren something for pain, my poor baby screaming like mad. THEN the dr bent Tyren legs to see whats wrong, and then he pushed on the object, trying to get it out, Tyren's whole ody went into spasms, he was screaming terribly, he then started vomiting of pain, and passed out. I THEN screamed at hubby, and told him we need to get to the hospital ASAP.

Tyren was screaming all the way there, he kept on wanting to bend his leg, and then screamed more.. SO I had to keep his leg straight... At ER, they braced his leg, and took 2 whole hours before they admitted Tyren. My baby screaming all the way, and after 5ml Ponstel and 5ml Lotem he passed out, thank fully.

In the ward the surgeon told us becoz Tyren ate at 11 the morning he can't remove it under anesthesia, he has to go 8 hours without liquid. So my poor baby was sooo drugged he didn't want to eat, just sleep or scream... He had to lie there the whole night with that piece of metal in his knee. He bend his leg four times, and the brace came off, leaving Tyren screaming franctically. And me trying to console him. He was in the ward with big old ooms, and then Tyren was screaming so bad, they couldnt sleep.

SO I was praying that 7am would come, as then is when Tyren would have suregry, but then night staff made a mistake, and Tyren was only going at 8:30. Tyren was screaming of pain, and hunger and thirst, but he weren't allowed to have anything. Luckily my parents came, and Tyren was distracted.

THEN the nurse came to fetch us, to carry Tyren to theater. There he was clinging to my me like mad, but I had to give him to the theater nurse, he was crying so bad, after he went in , I myself was crying....

So 55 minutes later I heard my baby screaming inside the theater, and I knew he was okay, we waited for him to come out, I had his two bottle bags with me, two milk and two tea. He downed three bottles, 2 milk and 1 tea.. Shame it must have been so bad, for him to want milk.

SO he woke up when I picked him up to put him into bed, my mom took him from me, so I could get his clothes out, we dressed him and let him sleep. SHAME his whole leg was in bandages, and had me worried big time...

HE slept for about two hours, and then woke up smiling, BUT ignoring me, he didn't want anything to do with me. My heart was sooo sore, he probably thought it was my fault, for letting him lie with the pain. SO the surgeon came and said IF I was willing to take leave, he could be discharged, and I could look after him. I OBVIOUSLY agreed. So I got Tyrens meds, his pain meds is Myprodol.

When we got home, he was sooo glad to see the dogs his first word to the dogs were "WOEFW', and he wanted to be put down. and he was playing away, asif nothing happened. I took photos of everything, to show my baby did play.....

GUYS IT WAS THE WORST WORST WORST Experience of my life, I would happily have 20 more c-sections, if it means I can spare my child that experience

HEre is the photos...

OE jong ek weet nie, ek het n program gekoop toe ons wou swanger raak en ons het dit volgens daai kalender gedoen. EK sal die program vir jou stuur as jy wil ?

Symaya and Cinds
Thank you for the advice!!!

Ek hoop nie ek mis iemand nie, ingeval ek het HAAI! lol

Must say I am not realy fond of Dr's the only thing they can do is give your baby antibiotics. The last time my LG was sick the Dr gave her antibiotics and a week later still sick, after the second Dr who only perscribed more antibiotics, I took her for a scio session and it helped a lot, plus I could see her emotions (which was interesting and funny to see) and what things she was sensitive for (like allergies).. if she is not better by the end of the week I am going to do antoher Scio session.

Charlene - good luck, hope all goes well!

Ok the internet is on again, they said they fixed it will just have to see.

Charlene, sterkte dink aan jou. Hoop niks is te erg fout met Jo nie. Bly Ange is ok na die vrou met haar geval het.

Marilu, sal vir jou bid. Erens moet iets bietjie vir jou uit werk, jy gaan deur baie

Charlene, thanks, That makes sense about the ovulation. Great that everything is looking good, stay positive! Everything will be fine! Sounds like the dr knows his stuff....they will find an answer

skitter thanks... i have also heard that. the pead said that by going to any of our hosps or dr's here are money wasting and that this dr butler is THE best and very very good and his equipment is excellent, he also works with a 24 pointh and not just 12 like the others, whatever that may mean, so lts see, but as of this morning everything,ooked awesome, so im positive...
also, everybody ovulates at different times, norm is 14 days after the 1st day of your last period, but i know someone that ovulated just before period too so it differs...
