Wow! It sounds like you went through quite an ordeal! But well done for getting through it.
I am still baffled as to how rude some medical staff can be. I know they see it and do it every day but surely they also know that it's such a HUGE thing to go through and a little reassurance doesn't go astray! Especially since this wasn't your first time - it's not like you were being a scaredy-cat first time Mum or anything!!
Well done and YAY on little Elijah getting through all of that safe and sound (and for being a guts, hehehe).
