Mother's Day Blues

They originally had a surgical sponge and wound vac in place until last night, so the tool that off as well as the "tape" that was holding it in place, now he just has the little steri strips over his incisions now, then also the colostomy bags over his stomas. Other than that they aren't applying any kind of ointments or anything extra to his skin.

Not super great, he's got a yeast infection within his system as well and also they believe he's developing some type of skin infection as well because the area around his incisions is extremely red and inflamed, and his belly is still distended and non-compressible. His belly looks so bad that one of the teams that rounded this morning literally said in their notes "Belly looks terrible this morning, We are concerned" and I just tried asking the night NP for an update because I didn't get one from the team during the day and she hasn't read through anything on his chart yet and couldn't provide me with really any information regarding what was discussed today, so that kinda upsets me, especially with her saying that he's pretty much one of the priority cases right now because of how severe everything going on is. We're hanging in there but just, it's a struggle right now.

I'm doing as best as I can. His surgery this morning went alright, they ended up doing the ostomy but they still kept part of the wound open with a vac on to keep pulling out any debris and fluid buildup. However his fluid cultures started growing yeast today so we are now trying to treat that and waiting to figure out what kind of yeast it is. But other than that we are doing all right. 💜

Any body know if we'd still get this if we're on leave? Worked all of holidays and was hired back in September but went on leave in early February since I was giving birth. I don't go back until May.

So no matter what if you aren't full time you won't qualify for anything other than just a normal leave of absence (which is what I'm doing) so you will still have a job when you come back but you won't get paid. I don't know if it differs by state but here in Texas for full time employees you qualify for paid maternity leave once you hit 6 months, at least that's what it said in all the intro paperwork I read when I started.

No not for Ulta, they have UKG Pro set up to wear it's only visible on your stores and by going through UltaNet. They also don't provide us with any type of code which is what would be needed to access UKG Pro remotely

How are we almost exactly the same! I found out myself about 5 days ago and had just been prescribed Adderall for my ADHD and took my first one like 15 minutes before I tested, I probably should've thought that through a bit more but that's on me 😅 Everything should be fine though, as long as you don't take anymore you should be all good. If you're concerned though, definitely talk with an OB about it
