"Raising awairness on this pregnancy condition"

	Update	330 jours il y a
	Been so long since I updated this and so much has happened. I am walking (albeit still with alot of pain and not as far as I used to) and for that I am more than thankful. My little Antony was born by c-section on the 21st May 2008 at 37 wks and was taken to the neonatal unit as his apgas score dropped - he was having probems controling his temperature, they hadnt even weighed him yet. The next two days were tough there was the conflict between trying to move about so my wound would heal but not cause more pain than needed to my pelvis. All I wanted to do was sit with my baby boy. He was 7lb 2oz, a good weight for 37wks but he looked so poorly in the incubator. All was well though he competed a course of anti biotics and was returned to me on the ward. The next day I was itching to get home (had been in for 2weeks prior to the birth) and thankfully was allowed to. I missed my family so much. Life is wonderful with the wee man and Sarah has recently been given the all clear for her kidney problems she was on long term anti biotics for which was a huge relief. I am back at college two nights a week doing my PDA (cassroom assistant) as my physio told me to forget nursing as it seems when I was in labour with Sarah my tail bone got broken (I now feel like I am sitting on a tennis ball - its agony) and have also been diagnosed with Hypermobility syndrome which apparently is the reason for my ME and other health problems and why it was never picked up on before no one knows. I am waiting to see an orthopeadic surgeon to see if surgery will help my tail bone and my knee and if there is any other help I can get (I stil have to use my crutches on bad days). Within myself though I have not been happier I have the most amazing husband and three most beautiful children and my outlook to life is totaly different I can now see that I am a survivor not just of my health but also of things that have gone before and I have so much to be thankful for. Every day is a blessing and everyday I can walk is a bonus. OK so I need to use my crutches the odd day (prob more than I do) and I need to stay in bed and rest more than I woud like but to see the smiles on my kiddies faces and hear them laugh makes my life compete.
