Mastitis

While we were at the hospital w/my Mom I missed a pumping time. By 12:30am I am in complete agony and I tell my brother I have to go home to pump and feed Ryan. Well, I pump 4oz and I feed him for 15min on top of that and I am still in more pain than I can remember being in in a long time. John makes me a rice sock and that doesn't help at all. I put hot compresses on and then cold - nothing. I am shivering and shaking uncontrollably. I tell John that I can't wait 6hrs for my midwife to open so he takes me to the ER. (SIL stayed w/the kids) Right before we left I took my temp and it was only 98.2 so I was hoping that meant I didn't have any infection. We get to the hosp (less than 10min later) they take my vitals and my temp is 100. They check me in and give me 3 Tylenol. Take my temp again in an hour and it's 100.5. Turns out I have Mastitis. My right boob is TWICE the size of my left and from 12:00 to 6:00 is hard as a rock. They put me on 500mg of an antibiotic, give me Motrin and tell me, as many of you already know, that the only way to clear it up is to keep pumping and feeding. Which I am doing.
