Dumping

The girls are now 8.5 months, I can not believe how fast it is going by, TOO fast. They are doing well, we have had a about 4 weeks in a row of being sick between ear infections and the flu that ran its course through our house and all of our famillies. But they seem to be doing better! They had their first snow this past Thursday, and mommy got to get off work and come home and spend the day with them! It was very nice! They are growing so much! We took them to the doctor this past monday: Lillianah weighs 18.6 and Zoey weighs 17.5. They are growing well!
We had a small set back last weekend. As most of you know, I strictly breastfeed and my babies have never had formula. Well last weekend was a little rough for me, I had a cycst on my chest. I have had it forever, never bothered me or anything. Last week it started hurting and getting fluid build up, so I went to my PCP, she sent me home with a z-pack and told me to do warm compresses. Z-Pack really? I mean Z-Pack is not going to kill an infection in my body of that nature or that bad, but I am BF so she could not put me on the meds that she wanted too.
Well Friday I woke up in awful pain, I called my mom I could not even bend over to pick up the girls with out it hurting. So I went to moms PA at her ORTHO office and she opened and drained it for me, well the second she drained it (and 4 times more bacteria and fluid came out than the PA said she thought would have came out) the second it started coming out it smelled exactly the same way the girls poop had been smelling and they have had diarreach for like a month! We called my pediatrician, it turned out the bacteria and infection was getting in my milk ducts and getting to the babies:( I was told to stop BF because of the bacteria and cellulitus, and because of the antibiotic  they were going to put me on to kill the infection. Sent me home on pain killers and an antibiotic called Cepro, Took the Cepro, about 20 min. later I was freezing cold, uncontrollably shaking, lost it, it was awful. Ambulance came took me to JW(Side note: never GO TO THAT HOSPITAL, well I should not say never, I just had an AWFUL experience) ER admitted me bc they could not get my heart rate down. Next morning it came down. They wanted to keep me too monitor me on another antibiotic. So basically I was in the hospital, first time I EVER stayed the night away from the babies. First time they ever had formula (and I did not want them to have ANY! MY BF goal was one years old) And the docs could not figure out waht meds to putme on! It was a rough weekend, gave me another medication I had another allergic reaction. Wanted to keep me again to try another medication in the morning, but I checked my self out of the hospital. Did not go into detail but the doctor pretty much SUCKED! So I followed up with my PCP, reffered me to the Cancer Institute, (Breast Specialist) She cut the cyst out drained the bacteria some more and put a wick in. So long story I get to start BF again on Sunday. You know how frsutrating it has been to pump and dump it down the drain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! Awful! So we had a minor set back and that included one week out of a year for my babies to have formula not waht I wanted but we made it though and they will get my BM back in one day! YEA!
