This was 2 wks postpartum, a few hrs before I spiked a 105 fever & nearly fell unconscious home alone with 2 babies.
I was alone bc Chris was out of #paidleave & had gone back to work. Luckily I called a friend to get me to the hospital before I passed out.

I had retained placenta from Nicholas’ birth & got a massive infection. I was hospitalized for 1wk & then sent home with IV antibiotics for a week after that.
So at 4wks postpartum, I was sick as a dog, with an IV in, nursing two babies. (2/6)
