So as we ramp up to 27 weeks along (SQUEEE, Just one more week until 3rd trimester!!!) I found out that I have Gallbladder disease. Jaron and I spent 6 exhausting hours at the hospital today first making sure that Brooklyn was okay. Which she is fantastic, just so happy and healthy moving around in her little space. I'm so relieved that she is okay and she gets to stay in there still! Next we went to the ER because no one ever told you that L&D doesn't really deal with chest pain. I didn't know what was going on and I was freaking out. Let's recap.
I first felt the pain at about 10am this morning at work 25 minutes away from my home. I ignorded at first and figured nothing was wrong..... About a half an hour later I was feeling much worse with hot flashes and check pain radiating from my right side to my left. Lets just say I booked it out of work and I honestly don't remember if I clocked out or not..... I drove most of the way home when I stopped and puked up my guts on the freeway. After that I felt better and started to think that I was imagining things. Dr said to go to L&D though so I carried on. Got the hubs and the little one in the car and grandma kindly helped us with her while we got to the hospital. Once there we sat in L&D while the elvaluated Brooklyn. She was putting on a show the hole time becuase of all the excitment!!! What a cutie! Anyway, they figured out that she was okay. My OB came in to talk with me and I began to feel worse at this point. Pain still on my right side, but now it was traveling to my back and down my right side. I felt nothing on my left which was good news to my OB because there was nothing with my heart. Told me to go to ER to be evaluated for gallbladder and/or kidney infection.
Once there I took a turn for the very very worse. I spent the next hour in the most intense pain I have ever been in in my life INCLUDING labor. I was crying, puking, and sweating as much as anyone could imagine. I honestly had no idea what was wrong, but I figured it was the gallbladder. I asked my husband for a blessing who then asked any member of the staff if they could help provide one. No one stepped up right away so we continued on with all our testing. I had an ultrasound done and they found gall stones and sludge in my gallbladder. They also found some protien in my urine which means I also have a UTI on top of it all!
While the testing was going on Jaron and myself were blessed with an amazing opportunity that I'm sure doesn't come around much. One of the men in the hospital stepped forward to come aid Jaron in a blessing for me. I was amazed with his willingness to help us and with his love of the gospel to know what a great opportunity that this was. I will never forget his kindness that day.
Tomorrow we shall see what the surgen says. I hope by then I haven't drove myself crazy looking at articles of gallbladder surgeries and pregnancy, but I know everything will be okay and Brooklyn his healthy. At least we have that to help us!
Love you all!
