I am so sorry you are going through this. ((HUGS))

FUDGE! I'm so sorry, Preppy.

[pooh8402]

Ugh I'm so sorry. I'd be worried too. At the same time, she's already exposed.

Man, that really sucks. I hope they are able to effectively treat your infection!

[cincodemayo]

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Hugs to you!

[zeewifeandmama]

Oh wow!! I would be so nervous too! I hope the antibiotics clear it up!

[sometimesrunner]

(hugs) to you. I'm sorry you're going through this.

[celiacmom]

I'd calling any risk hotline and speak to them. Hugs!!!!

[preppy]

Pedi called and said I can keep nursing. He said that Stella has already been exposed and it's good for her to keep nursing. He gave me some things to look out for snd said I'm doing great. He was really reassuring. I'm still terrified but I'm going to keep the course for now and see what happens with these new antibiotics. I'm not going to make any decisions on nursing as a whole until I see if this responds to the meds.

[pugz]

so many hugs

[Muddled]

You are doing great.

I'm sorry this is so difficult.

[tulips]

Hugs, preppy. You're doing a great job.

[spankswife]

Ugh! Hugs! You're doing a great job! Whatever you decide will be the right answer.

[greycat]

((Hugs)) glad you finally know what it is and hope you are healing and feeling well very soon!

[bcarp30]

Sounds like you have a great pedi! Big hugs. Hope the antibiotics work and this can start healing for you!

[pierogigirl]

Hugs. I hope you get relief soon.

Bumped for update.

OMG I'm so sorry!  I can't even imagine going through what you're dealing with. Hugs and do whatever feels right. It is too scary.

[Willis Jackson]

Big hugs. I'm sorry you're going through this.

[lolo]

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry you're dealing with this.

[tiptoetulips]

Oh preppy!! I'm so sorry thinking of you!

[stretchad]

Oh no, I'm sorry! I'm glad they've identified what the problem is. (((HUGS)))

Jesus, @preppy! That's terrifying! Follow your gut!

[brandienee]

God, @preppy. You are amazing. Seriously you're doing a great job. I wouldn't be able to go through this and think clearly or make any decisions.

((Hugs)) I hope the meds respond.

[Deleted]

That's so scary! You're doing a great job.

Can you pump/dump the one side and just nurse on the other? Until this is under control?

[lilac05]

Big hugs.

I agree with you 100% on doing whatever you can to protect your baby.   If there was even a remote risk, I'd be done, too!  I REALLY hope this round clears it up for you.  What an absolute nightmare.

[glitzy07]

So many hugs coming your way. How scary!

[yourmother]

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this! Hugs!!!

[zarapipe]

Oh my goodness, you have gone through so much. I am wishing you a quick recovery and strength in whatever you decide. You are a rock. I think many women, including myself would have thrown in thw towel long ago

[sarahsas]

I'm sorry you have to go through this. I hope your infection can be treated quickly without side effects!

[jennistarr1]

could you pump and blanch it, similar to what women have to do when they have too much lipase. Or just dump...and return to nursing when you get the all clear? Pumping would be just so you don't dry up
