Paul - I'm so sorry. That must have been really frightening.
We lost the baby this weekend. Truth to tell, I almost lost Kelley too. The hospital staff seemed much more rattled than I ever expected to see professionals, which almost made me lose my own hold, when I realized just how much more serious it was than I had at first thought. But they managed to stop most of the bleeding before they brought her in for surgery, which made a big difference. Without going into TOO much detail, they gave her 6 liters of fluid in two lines to stabilize her before the surgery, then gave her 3 units of blood afterward. And when they discharged her the next day, her numbers were still somewhat low.
Really sorry to hear that. It might sound trite, but how are you coping? And it's good to hear that Kelley made it through.
