Juliette Recovering Well

Well, I must confess that it was difficult for me to even write or talk about Juliette's delivery for a while. However, now that she is recovering well, it's a little easier so I wanted to give you all an update on her too and let you know what she has gone through.

Juliette had an emergent C-Section. I was in the room with her and have never witnessed anything so brutal. Everything was going fine until they laid her down on the operating table. We believe that, at that moment, his head must have pressed against the umbilical chord. Whatever the cause, Jackson's heart rate dropped suddenly. That set everything on fire. Suddely people were screaming, metal instruments were hitting the ground, chairs were falling over. Jackson was stuck in multiple places and three doctors were hitting and pulling to force him out. Her body was tossed up, down, and sideways as I held onto her. She had to grip the table edges to keep her body on the operation table. We later discovered that, after the delivery was over, the doctors left the room and wept together it was so overwhelming for them.

Thanks goodness, Juliette is recovering well now. She's shown great strength through this and is already walking around all on her own (no wheelchair now). She even gets to hold Jackson and feed him at the hospital. It's wonderful to see the two of them, healthy, together again.
