Need prayers and good thoughts please!

Oh Val, I'm sending powerful, positive vibes. Medically induced comas are so scary but the two friends I've had that have gone through them have come out just fine on the other side. She's in the best hands possible. Hang in there!!
 
Thank you so much everyone. She is doing alot better. She was up and talking last night. In alot of pain. Apparently they thought that her bowel might have gotten "nicked" during her C/S but the scan showed no signs of that but they discovered she has an Ileus (intestinal obstruction) which is rare but they are monitoring her and aren't worried. They say even though it is rare they have seen it numerous times with C/S's. It is very painful so they are keeping her sedated and comfortable which broke her heart cause she wants to breastfeed and with the drugs, there's no way and she is way too miserable to pump. All is all, she is doing alot better and just waiting game now. And of course, the baby is doing GREAT! Got his days and nights mixed up but other than that, he is perfect!!
 
So glad to hear she is doing better! I hope she is fully recovered soon. (((hugs)))
 
I'm glad to hear her condition is better, Valorie! I hope she's lovin' on that baby with no pain really soon!
 
I just saw this thread. I'm so glad she's awake and doing better: I hope she doesn't punish herself about the BFing.
 
So happy to hear that she is doing better. Hopefully once she gets off the drugs, she can start breastfeeding.
 
will do....
when I hear things like this...I need to hold to my faith big time, which isnt always easy...a birth should be a time for happiness...there should exist no pain for mothers and no congenital conidions for children.....but hey, they say everything happens for a reason, right?
hope she gets well soon
