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!
