Please send prayers, good vibes, happy thoughts, chants, good voodoo, and variously scented incense smoke out to my friend Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is one of my bridesmaids, and one of my best friends. Last week she gave birth via C-section to her second child - the beautiful and healthy lil’ L. However, the docs screwed up BIG time stitching her back up after the C-section, and the incision came open. They had to rush to the doctor, who cleaned it out and stuffed it with gauze. She’ll have to go back in for surgery on Monday to reclose it.
Needless to say, she’s in pain and very pissed. The docs are falling all over themselves to fix things - they know they screwed up. But regardless, she’s got a newborn baby and 1 and a half year old little boy who need their mommy, and she can’t do anything about it because she’s got a HUGE GAPING WOUND across her belly!!!! ‘
*shudder*
I feel like punching some doctors. But that won’t do any good.
So please keep Elizabeth, her husband, and their babies in your prayers!! Hopefully, the doctors will get it right the second time and all will be well.
Here is lil’ L, at one day old:
Duuuuuuuude. What a cutie and what a cruddy situation. The whole family is in my prayers.
I JUST today am getting caught up on blogs (since I took a VACATION after the meeting), and am NOT EMBARRASSED AT ALL that you blogged about my ineptness at squeezing a lemon and me talking with my hands too much. It was great meeting you and I’m glad I could commiserate (sp?) with you about life. And for the record - my advisor is not crazy. She pushes me to do my best and has been a good mentor for the past (I don’t want to write how long I’ve been in graduate school cause it is too long!) years - honest.
Awww, what a cutie.
And I’ll be sending good vibes and prayers out to Elizabeth. I hope she gets well soon.
Aww, infant cuteness is the chink in my cynical, “let them eat cake” worldview….
How do you screw up sewing? It’s like the first thing they LEARN as Drs!
That baby is PRETTY! Hope she gets well soon so she can go hold that baby all she wants!
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW… she’s beautiful.
My best wishes and blessings to Lil’ L and especially Elizabeth for a safe surgery and fast recovery!
Oh my, that’s gotta be a fake baby, because they don’t come all perfect like that do they? Do they??
Heart sploding cute.
Good vibes on the way nnnnNOW.
Wow, what a beautiful baby! She’s gorgeous. Dad better start loading the shotguns now.
Poor Elizabeth - What an awful thing to have to go through, as a family, when they should be centered around enjoying the new baby. Praying for her & got the candle lit.
Owowowowowow…..
That kid is adorable
How? How do they do that? What fucking astounding incompetence. Which hospital was she at so we all know never to go there?
But L. is darling, staring straight at the camera like that at only one day old!
Good vibes headed out!
