Our 4th child was born recently via emergency Cesarean section after a very long induced labour which culminated foetal distress and me suffering major blood loss (almost 3 litres). Baby was in NICU for a little while.
The day before our son was born my husband was rushed by ambulance to hospital with a symptoms of a stroke. This proved to be the case and he suffered 3 TIA's leaving him with weakness down one side and balance issues. He is now back home but has regular rehab appointments both at hospital and at home and is totally exhausted most of the time.
Things will be rather challenging over the next while with a newborn, three older children and my poorly husband to take care of whilst I recover from my emergency Cesarean section surgery.
Obviously blogging will be taking a back seat for the foreseeable future. I hope you will bear with me whilst we work our way through things as a family and I look forward to getting back into blogging once things settle down.
Thanks so much for your understanding.
