Quick Update

I had a pretty good night last night. Took pain meds around 10:30 and was asleep by 11 or so. I slept through the night with no issues. I woke up nauseas but pain free. I took my morning sickness meds and got ready for school. I started feeling pain around 8am and took one of my pain meds. At 9:30 or so I decided I needed two. At 10:30 my pain was terrible! One of my sweet students got a heating pad from the nurse for me and I tried to get through it. I contacted some teachers and they agreed to cover my last two classes after lunch. By 10:45 I could t stand it anymore. I called the front office and requested they send someone to cover my classes because I needed to go home.

I emailed Jay and told him to call Dr James and let him know we were on our way to the hospital. I held it together really well in front of my class but as soon as those elevator doors closed I totally lost it.

The front office secretary offered to drive me to the hospital and I quickly took her up on the offer. Jay met me at CMC.

When I first checked in the nurse gave me a shot of demmoral (sp?) and it didn't do anything! The only thing I could do to get comfortable was to take a shower. Thankfully we're in a nice new room on the labor and delivery floor and the shower has jets all down the sides and really helped I ease my pain. After an hour and a half of terrible pain at the hospital my other OB, Dr. Wicker came by to check on me and ordered additional pain meds. He also let me know that I would staying at the hospital until I passed the stone or it had to be surgically removed. We are PRAYING that I can pass the stone without surgery. Surgery would be risky and a last resort option.

Currently I'm pumped full of iv fluids and I'm feeling pretty good. Ive got my magic button for pain relief. Still haven't passed the stones but at least I'm somewhat comfortable.

Since I'm trying to be better with pictures in my posts here are a few of Jay and me and our room.
