['I was very sick when our first daughter was born. I developed HELLP syndrome with her and was in the hospital for 7 days.', "Oh, that's terrible!! What is HELLP syndrome?", "It's basically when eclampsia progresses to the point that your blood doesn't clot and your organs start shutting down.  I had to stay 7 days past her birth to get my blood to start clotting again.  My sister came down and stayed for 2 weeks to help us out."]
Thank goodness she was able to come, but that must have been so scary! I hope you're okay now!
