"When it rains, it pours!"

This is what my sister-in-law said to me when I told her what we have been going through. As if a cesarean isn't hard enough to recover from, we have had some serious issues around here. When we got home from the hospital we realized I had a serious reaction to the tape they used to cover my incision and I was covered in blisters across both hips. The boys have all been sick with colds and we are currently fighting bad eye infections with the 3 boys which has been tricky because they just want to love on Ezra. Also, last Sunday I broke out in a severe case of hives. I was trying to figure out if I had eaten or used something different but couldn't think of anything. When I woke up Monday morning my eyes were nearly swollen shut and my hands were so swollen that they burned. We finally went in to the Emergency Room Tuesday morning at 2am because I couldn't sleep with the burning in my hands. They gave me a shot and some Benadryl and after a few days I am finally hive free. My sister-in-law, Amy, said she had a friend who had a c-section, reacted to the tape in a similar way, and then broke out in hives from it. So I'm assuming that was the reason for my hives. Anyway, pity party aside, this is why I have gotten behind on my posts. We have appreciated all the help with the kids, dinners, and offers to help that we've received. It all helped so much! Hopefully things will get back to 'normal' soon!
