ER

Wednesday started out as a great day. Carleigh graduated from preschool! I am still sad that it is already over, and I can't believe my little girl will be in kindergarten in just a few months! We are really going to miss preschool. I will post pictures and tell more about it soon. Anyways, after that, we went to lunch with grandma and grandpa, and my brothers. Then, we went home and watched the dvd Carleigh's teacher made for her. After that, she got ready for dance. Throughout the day, I felt fine, and then right as I picked Carleigh up from dance, I suddenly got the worst pain in my stomach. It hurt so bad, I could barely breathe! I drove home like a crazy person, and I jumped out and ran in the house and I threw up for an hour straight, but the pain in my stomach just got more and more painful. I finally knew I had to go to the emergency room. Tom called my dad, and he had grandma Roz come and pick up the kids. On the way to the hospital, I was screaming and crying, and seriously felt like I was going to die. We got to the hospital, and they started an IV with antibiotics, and pain medication. They took me in for a CT scan, and told me they thought my appendix was enlarged, and may have to be removed! Seriously, I was so scared! I really didn't want to have emergency surgery. So, they made me drink this fantastic tasting beverage(soooo diaguisting!!!)and an hour later they did another CT scan, and this time they did an iodine flush, which makes you feel all warm, and kind of liked you peed your pants! Well, the good news is my appendix is fine, but I have pneumonia, and the infection had leaked into my abdomen, causing the pain! Crazy! So, after 7 wonderful hours in the ER, we were finally able to go home. If I could never do that again, it wouldn't be soon enough! My fantastic mom came up and took my kids, and made them dinner, and watched movies with them , and played games and had popcorn, and did my dishes, and stayed with them until we got home about 1:30 in the morning! Tyler and Bryce came too, and I can't thank them enough! I have a fantastic family! Now I'm just trying to get better and take it easy, sheesh, life is crazy sometimes!
