Solomon and his Mama: Back to the hospital!?

After being home from the hospital for two days, I came down with a high fever. My midwife instructed me to go the E.R. to get checked out. I was so freaked out that I called my co-worker Katie (an RN) to go with me. They ended up admitting me, deciding that I had a uterine infection and needed to stay in the hospital to be on I.V. antibiotics.

So I had to be hospitalized for four days and spend time away from little Solomon, who was just five days old! Auntie Lynnea was happy to take him but I was so irrational and hormonal that I just sat there bawling in the hospital that first night I was admitted. Luckily Godmother Kara saved the day and roomed in with me the entire time I was at the hospital! Solomon came to visit in the middle of my stay.

I had another stretch of just hanging out
with my best friend! I can *almost* say that getting a uterine infection was worth it to be afforded the chance to get more time to have Kara all to myself! On that note, Kara was kind enough to give me a pedicure during this hospital stay and it often crosses my mind and makes me laugh! The weird thing is that Kara and I have spent exorbitant amounts of time together, holed up in some crummy room in some pretty stressful situations in Kenya over the years. So comparatively, this was nothing! At least we had food to eat and nobody was trying to kill/harm us!

I think Kara was happy to have some more time one on one with little S!

Poor Emily had been dying to see little S. She and Heidi left for California for Thanksgiving and they missed the whole excitement! By the time they got back I had been home and since been readmitted, so Emily was able to see him while he stopped by to visit.
