A little while later they wheeled Emily over to the Mother/Baby Unit. It is a pretty nice room. There is room for the 6 of us (Emily, Abe, me, my parents and Ruth) to hang out comfortably. And the nurses rolled in a bed that I've been sleeping on.
We haven't been doing too much these last few days. Mainly feeding Abe whenever he's hungry, or changing his poopy diapers (which there haven't been too many of). We've mainly been letting Emily rest up and recover her strength. If all goes well, she'll be discharged tonight.

Emily needs all the positive thoughts you can send her way. She needed 2units of blood and the doctor failed to do an episiotome, so she had a third degree ( or whatever you call it) tear. As the Grandma of that special grandaughter, I am passing this info on to those of you who can understand how much she needs your support and POSITIVE thoughts and prayers.
They didn't fail to do an episiotome. It is no longer recommended. Research showed that you heal better and faster, with less risk of infection, if they don't cut you than if they do.
