An update...FINALLY!!

WOW...where do i start?? It has been a crazy month!! On May 22nd i was admitted to the hospital, i had an inflamed and very infected gallbladder! Yeah, no fun!! I was is alot of pain, i started feeling sick three days earlier, and it started with me throwing up and having a fever, so i thought it was just the flu and then i just wasn't getting any better so i finally went into the doctor on Thurs night and he sent me straight to the hospital! My parents came with me to help with the kids, and we spent 8 hours in the ER!!!! At around 3am after lots of blood work, a urine test, and a CT they discovered that my gallbladder was the problem! And said that i would have to have it out ASAP! So my parents went home to get some rest and then i texted Sam and let her know what was going on, and within 30mins she was knocking on my hospital door! It was 4am, and i was so happy to see her!! At around 4:30am they finally moved me up to the 3rd floor, and then i waited some more. I went down to surgery at around 11am, although it didn't start until around 1pm, but i was so exhausted that i just slept. I got out of surgery at around 2:30pm and then went back to my room, where my mom, Sam and my grandma Douglass were waiting for me! I was so sleepy, but super happy to see them! I got to leave at around 6pm and spent the first night at my parents, i would have went home, but Dr. Richards said that he wouldn't release me from the hospital unless i stayed with my parents! My recovery wasn't too bad, the pain after was nothing compared to the pain before the surgery!! I am so thankful for my family, they were all such a great help! I don't know what i would've done without them! : )

SCHOOL'S OUT!!!! Seth and Connor got out of school for the summer on the 29th, which is so nice!! I think i was more excited for summer break then they were! Now i just wish we could have some nice summer-like weather!! Connor is still doing speech twice a week and O.T. once a week and starting next week he will be in physical therapy too...it gets kinda exhausting keeping up with his schedule, but i think he is starting to make progress and i am loving it!!!

The boys and i are all finally healthy and hopefully we will be able to stay out of the hospital for a while!!! I think we have me our accident/emergent hospital visits for the year!! : )

I'm glad that you are feeling better! I agree I think we've had enough ER visits this year! Yahoo for school getting out, except I miss the boys when they go to their dad's house!
