I am so glad that week is OVER!!!

WARNING: THIS IS A REALLY LONG POST

(I just want the twins to read this one day and realize what they put their mom through)

Thursday July 1^st ~

I started feeling really sick. I always feel sick but I knew something was wrong. I tried to pretend like nothing was wrong and it would eventually go away but it did not.

Friday~

I gave in and finally called my doctor. I feel so guilty calling because I do not want to be that annoying patient who is always in the doctor’s office. They doctors office sent me home with an IV. Dennis was a trooper and helped me out with this one. I never thought I would hang an IV bag from our curtain rod.

Saturday~

When I woke up in the morning I still did not feel that I great. I had Dennis take the IV out anyways. I was determined not to let this ruin our weekend. There is a huge firework show that takes place in Idaho Falls and I REALLY wanted to go. We were supposed to meet up with our friends and have appetizers from Outback while we waited for the fireworks. By 5pm I knew there was no way I was going to make it. I was so sad, Dennis was sad but luckily for Audrey we have some amazing friends who took her to the firework show so she would not miss out. I went to the ER and within 15 minutes I had a new IV in place and knew I was not going home. I was devastated. I felt so terrible for Dennis. He was looking forward to the fireworks, hanging out with friends and getting out of the house finally. Sorry babe.

Sunday~

Rexburg is 95% Mormons and it was July 4^th I knew nothing was going to be done this day. I did get a chance to meet with the doctor and he informs me that they want to do a scope on me to see what was going on. This was dangerous for the babies but he thought it needed to be done. My blood pressure was getting low, I was still throwing up with an IV and lets just say I had other issues.

Monday~

I am ready to get this scope over with to figure out what is going on. However, after the doctor talked with the surgeon they decide to hold off. They were running a bunch of tests and they wanted to wait for the results to see if they came back with anything before performing the procedure.

Tuesday~

I FINALLY get to eat some food. The doctor and Surgeon got the tests back and they found nothing so they were going to go ahead with the scope. They let me go home. My mom came down to help and it was a huge blessing. She was great support, and comfort. The doctor scheduled the procedure for Thursday. I deal was I had to come back on Wednesday for an IV and then come back on Thursday.

Wednesday~

I got my 9^th poke 5 of which were IV’s. My arms were so sore and I was running out of places for an IV. Luckily my doctor gave me some numbing cream so before I went in I numbed the last spot I had for an IV. The nurse was great and she let me leave the IV in for the procedure the next day.

Thursday~

I had the procedure done. While the nurses were getting me all set up, my IV was running really slow. The nurse thought she was going to have to do a new IV. She looked at my hands and saw that I really did not have a spot for a new IV so they but a pressure bag around the IV, which did the trick. I was so relieved. I think I was more nervous about another IV than I was having a procedure done that was risky.

Whew that was a long week. They got the results back and have no idea what is wrong with me. What a comforting feeling. I am not allowed to work anymore which is a blessing. Audrey is so excited. I found a great High Risk Doctor in Washington and I am excited to see what they are going to do with me

Though this week was more than a challenge I came out feeling so blessed. I am so blessed to have such great friends who took care of Audrey for me. Dennis was Dennis what can I say. He brought me movies, spent hours and hours at the hospital with me even though I know he was bored out of his mind, Brian and Dennis were able to give me a blessing, The Relief Society brought meals over, My mom was here to help out with Audrey and give me the comfort and support only a mom can give, and even though my family lives in Washington there was many prayers said.

I am so glad that week is over. I am ready to be done… Yeah I know I have awhile until I am done but seriously I wish I could fast forward a couple of months and meet this two little babies.
