Just a quick update for now... still in the hospital! I will post pictures later...
I was induced on July 27th at 8:30 AM. I had terrible back labor for 9 hours, 4 1/2 of which was just trying to push him out. He got stuck on my pelvic bone and came out with a giant hematoma on his head. He had strange symptoms that suggested trouble with his brain right away, so was sent to the NICU for monitoring. In the NICU, he had a giant seizure. He was given medication for the seizure, as well as antibiotics for possible meningitis. We were terrified of that as well as the possibility of a genetic seizure disorder.
Today, we received the best news possible: he has a small brain bleed in the right frontal lobe caused by the traumatic birth, and which will most likely be reabsorbed with no long term consequences.
Alex will be monitored with head ultrasounds for the next week to make sure the bleed is reabsorbed and doesn't get larger. I will stay here at the hospital with him to work on breastfeeding, and just being his Mommy. We can't wait to take him home!
