Hospital visit #2

The day before thanksgiving was quite eventful. I woke up that morning with my back killing me. In the exact spot it had before because of the kidney stones. As the day went on it just got worse. And on top of that I thought I had a bladder infection. After being in pain, I received a priesthood blessing from my husband and dad. It helped me to feel calm. I called my doctors office to tell them how I was feeling and they told me to go to urgent care since I was in California. Blake and I left shortly after. I told the doctor there that I found out a couple months ago that I had kidney stones. As soon as I said that she looked at the chart and told me she would be back in a minute. She came back to tell me that from the urine sample it looks like I might have a kidney infection. Because of that, being pregnant, and having kidney stones I had to be sent to the ER. Well start the tears. I was scared as to what was happening. Blake and I went home to get my mom and the three of us trekked over to the hospital. When we got there they told me I had to be sent to labor and delivery. Which I figured would happen since I was 29 weeks. It took them a while to get me in because they had no rooms available. Once they did I was put into one of there smallest rooms. But whatever- there were so many women having babies. And I wasn't, so it seemed fair. They did a blood sample and urine sample to test for the infection. Came back that yes I indeed had a kidney infection. I knew this was not good and could be harmful to me and the baby if something did not happen soon. They told me that I needed to stay overnight so that they could get me hydrated on an IV and get some antibiotics in me right away to kick the infection. After a somewhat sleepless night for both Blake and I, they did one more IV antibiotic and then the ER labor and delivery doctor came to check on me to see how I was doing. I had been in pain but was given pain killers to help. Food made me feel nauseous so I had not eaten a lot. After a total of 2 blood samples and 2 sticks of the IV (because the first one came out of the vein, made me hyperventilate because my hang and arm was swelling up and I had no feeling) we were able to go home at 11:30 am on Thanksgiving day. Oh how I was glad that is over with. Except the next day, the kidney stone pain came back in the evening. It was the most excruciating pain I have ever had and been through. My family and Blake had no idea how to help me. I had no idea how to help me. All I wanted to do was scream and cry and punch a pillow. But they were all wonderful in helping comfort me. I received another blessing from my husband, dad, and two brother in laws. Boy was that priesthood blessing powerful! I was able to sleep pretty good that night and felt much better the next day. Since then I have felt the pain on and off but never as bad as it was that week. It's hard to say when the pain will come as bad as it was. I am hoping these stones will pass when this baby girl decides to join us. Thank you to all that have prayed for me and have been thinking of me. I have felt peace and comfort. I love you all! 

So attractive right? This was after that first IV when I was hyperventilating. 

The man who was by my side the entire time.
