Im gonna try to make this short. It's a long story explaining what happened. I'm left in the dark on some things as far as what happened.
Basically I was a healthy 23 (24 now) yr old who had my 3rd child in march 2011. Something happened though. 3 days after the c section and constant complaining of right abdominal pain I was sent for a ct to discover I had a blockage. I was given enemas and iv meds and 3 days later sent home.
Two days later I devolp a high fever of 104 and up and a red raised spot above my belly button. I was a week out from the csection so I called the Ob who saw. Me the next day. He didn't see anything from Ob view so he sent me to the surgeon I saw while I was in the hospital during the blockage. The surgeon tells me I have a skin infection gives me antibiotics and does a chest X-ray also dents me up for a appt with the gastro doc. For over a week later. When I see him I'm worse. The spots bigger and I hadn't eaten anything but a few sips of chicken broth a couple days before. He wants to do a colonoscopy and says in no way can that be a skin infection. He thinks a hernia but wants to do a ct. I go for the ct 2 days later. I'm sent straight to the hosptial with no answer to why.
I got to the hosptial at 4:30 pm md was told nothing to eat or drink. By 9 pm still no answer as to why. The nurse tells my husband we are on the surgical floor. But not why, finally I talk to a doc and they say they are going to do laperscopic to see what's going on. The next day at 2pm I'm sent down to Preop.
I remember waking up to another ng tube and pain. The next memory is 2 days later. I get a dressing change I look down to see staples all the way down my stomach.
Turns out the red spot was actually my colon, it was dead as they said and my body was trying to reject it. They said I had infection leaking out of my colon and a another day I would of been dead my WBC was 31. I was in the hosptial for 2 weeks. Left with questions still. I lost 30% of my large intestine and 10% of my small on the right.
I don't really know what caused it since I've gotten different stories from the docs. Something happened though that I have to live with forever. Mentally, physically.
