Well, I went on Monday and again on Tuesday, and things weren't looking any better. They told me to come back again on Wednesday for another round. I was supposed to go home to New Mexico that day with Ashley since Jason was in Salt Lake for Melaleuca's convention so we postponed our trip another day. Wednesday morning I went to the hospital at 8:30 am for my IV and felt horrible. Things still weren't getting any better and the pain was still really bad even after I had taken the percocet they had given me. They finally sent me to get an ultrasound taken and found that I had abscesses. Normally they just use a needle to drain them, but mine were so bad that I had to have surgery. None of the doctors there would do it because it was so bad so they called in a surgeon. By 11:30am I was in surgery. My boss was kind enough to send Jason back from Salt Lake the second we found out I was going to have surgery, but he got stuck in traffic and didn't make it back in time.We found out that I didn't just have one abscess, I had five. It was the worst case of mastitis the surgeon that performed the surgery had ever seen. He seemed to think it was a great accomplishment - me: not so much. The infection was so bad that they left drains in for the next week and I was given another prescription antibiotic. They weren't sure if I was ever going to be able to breastfeed again because the damage was so bad, but at my appointment on Tuesday he said I had an 80% chance of being able to breast feed my next baby! Fingers crossed!
When we got home it was time for us to move! We moved across town to a new apartment. It is a 3 bedroom apartment with a garage and air conditioning for the same price. We really miss our house in Rexburg and wish we could move it down to Shelley, but this apartment is still nice. My sister, Ashley, was so good to pack us up and move us since I was still sore from surgery and had Carson to try and take care of. We wouldn't have been able to do it without her! Thanks Ash!
This week, Jason got bit by a spider on his forehead and we had to go to community care to get it looked at. They have him an antibiotic, but it didn't help. He ended up going back in a few days later and they had to drain it. Poor guy! Plus, to top it off, Carson got sick! He has been throwing up all week long. I guess when it rains it pours at the the Messano house! We are just happy to be alive. :)In the meantime my sweet little boy it getting so big! I can't believe he was 7 weeks yesterday. It makes me sad to see how fast time is flying. We sure do love that little guy. Everyday we see more and more of his personality coming out. Jason told me he wouldn't me a mamma's boy, but he sure does love his mommy. I'm pretty fond of him too...
