Hi! <br>It's been a while since I've posted but I'm more of a reader than a writer. So here's my story...<br><br>My husband and I are in the process of adopting our little boy and in February we brought him home and I went on maternity leave. I took 7 weeks or so and then went back to work for a month and low and behold come down with a horrible cold and ended up in the hospital. <br><br>I was in the hospital for a week then home iv's for going on my 7th week now and have been back to work part time for 3 weeks. So needless to say my employer is starting to get on my case about running out of my 12 weeks of fmla and what my plans are for my job.<br><br>A little backstory here is that I've been working for this company for 3 years and hadn't been in the hospital for 2 and half of those years. So I have been fairly healthy and at work for 2 and a half years straight. Of course I have taken vacation and all that but still.<br><br>So my question is has anyone else run into the 12 weeks used up and their employer giving them a hard time about being gone so much?! I mean come on people!! I'm sorry if I adopted a child and got sick in the first half of the year but I don't need to be told how me being gone is such a hard time on the other people I work with because they are so overloaded. <br><br>It's bad enough that I feel like and outcast because I do my iv's at work and am getting used to being a mom, let alone a mom with cf. Now they tell me that my job may be in jeapordy because my time is up and you all know that there are other doctors appts in my future and who knows maybe another hospitalization. Also my little one needs all his check ups and my husband can't do it all. <br><br>I don't know I guess I just needed to vent and see what others are doing out there. I might not make sense but just remember I am a reader not a writer! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"><br><br>Nikki <br>31/cf<br>
