3-5%

I am back in the hospital. I had a high fever starting Monday night. That sent me to the ER which ended with me being admitted to the hospital and taking a room back in the postpartum unit. Tuesday sent me to have a CT scan to check the internal incision for fluid. It came back showing there was fluid, however my doctor wasn't sold that it was fluid and not this stuff that she puts on the incision to prevent scar tissue. So, Wednesday had me getting an ultrasound on my legs to check for blood clots. That came back negative. After that, I met with someone from the Infectious Diseases group. We talked about my signs and 2 weeks since the surgery and decided to at least drain some of the fluid to see if it was the doctor's stuff or if it was pus or another liquid that would cause an infection and thus my fever. So, I went in for this procedure today. I now have a tube coming out of my stomach and into a plastic grenade looking thing draining both liquid and pus from me. Yuck. It's been a long 3+ days here in addition to the whole week I was here when Hunter was first born. I am ready to go home and get back to serving His Royal Highness. If the fluid level that is being drained drops off tomorrow morning, then it sounds like I should be able to go home tomorrow. Please let that be the case. I'm sick of being in the hospital. I believe I read that this happens to 3-5% of all c section patients. I guess there are worse things, but just get me out of here.
