ICU stay after delivery

Well I come home from the hospital Tuesday nightafter having Kolton on Monday. When I would lay down at night I would notice that my heart didn't seem to be beating right and even mentioned to my mom that I should probably go have a physical soon. Then my breathing becomes weird, but I chalk it up to smoking like a freight train after not being able to smoke for 12 hours. Well early Friday morning I wake up at like 4:30am coughing. It's one of those dry frustrating coughs. And I'm pissed b/c for once the baby is actually sleeping for a long period at night and this stupid cough just woke me up. So I lay there trying to go back to sleep and in between coughs realize that my breathing is short and shallow...I can't take a deep breath to save my life. So I panic and go wake up my mom. She thinks its an anxiety attack so we just sit in the living room for a bit, but it gets worse so we call 911. The paramedics arrive and take some vitals. They agree that it's probably an anxiety attack but take me to ER to be on safe side. Once I'm at the ER they hook me up to the normal monitors. My blood pressure is sky high (which I've NEVER had a problem with), my heartrate is low, and my oxgyen levels are low. The do an immediate chest x-ray which shows I have fluid around my lungs and a small case of pneumonia. The give me a water pill to get rid of the fluid, but none of my vitals change. So they send me for a cat scan of my chest and also for an EKG. Those do not show good results at all. I have postpartum cardiomyopathy, which basically means the pregnancy and delivery put a lot of stress on my heart and weakened itand if not taken care of I could have hada stroke or heart attack. I am placed in ICU and have massive amounts of blood drawn. My iron levels and potassium levels are also dangerously low. Good God, what else could go wrong? Then a doctor from my family doctor's practice comes in and tells me that I will need to be kept 3-5 days for observation. NO WAY!!!!!! I start crying and panicing "I just had a baby on Monday! My mom cannot take off work that long to care for him, she already took 2 days off for my delivery." He has the nerve to suggest that Kolton be placed with a foster family until I recover. YEAH FUCKING RIGHT!!!!!!!!! I don't think so buddy!!! Ricky's Nana was able to come over and care for Kolton and Rickywhile my mom went to work, but I am not putting anyone else out for 3-5 days while I'm in the hospital and I AM NOT leaving my newborn son with a stranger! So the cardiologist finally comes in to see me and discuss my diagnosis with me. I break down crying asking if there is anyway I can be released tomorrow and do outpatient care b/c I miss my baby. He, being the sweetheart he is, says "If you are feeling better tomorrow and your vitals still look good I think we can make that happen." BLESS HIS HEART!!! I get to catch up on all the sleep I've been missing out on with Kolton having his days and nights mixed up, which feels soooooo good. The cardiologist comes in around 11:00 this morning and tells me that things are looking great and I can go home today!! He went to go tell my nurse and she worked on the discharge papers and at 12:00 I was released!! I have to do follow up care with my family doctor and my cardiologist, along with weekly blood work and weekly EKGs. At this point they do not know if this is a temporary or permanent diagnosis. Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for me that this is just temporary. My sweet little precious Kolton literally tried to kill me! LOL
