Hospital update...

Hey so some of you may have heard of our busy weekend this last weekend so I thought I would let you all in on what has been going on. The short is I had to go to the hospital to get IV fluids for being severely dehydrated from morning sickness.
         Now for all the details for those interested...
               On Saturday night I started having fainting spells and dizziness. Rich called the oncall doctor since it was 12:30am. She told us to head to the ER so we packed up and headed for Portland Adventist. We got to the ER and had the speediest entry ever! I guess when you are pregnant they take things a bit more seriously. Before I even got from the wheelchair to the bed, three people were in my room. They were asking questions and setting up. Within a half hour I had two different blood draws, an IV, urine tests, and multiple heart and blood pressure tests. I just  laid there enjoying the warm blankets they kept bringing me. Two hours later I had had 3 liters of IV fluids in me. My halarious nurse John brought me my "ticket home" I had to keep down a turkey sandwich and ginger ale. I failed. And therefore got admitted up to Family Birth( since I am pregnant even though I am not very far).
             The rooms up in family birth are so nice and you have so much space! This picture is what our room looked like.

 I was pleasantly surprised when my nurse came in and it was a familiar face. Heidi Hunt (used to be Mudrow) was my nurse. Heidi is my friend Emily's cousin who I have known since I was in 3rd grade or younger! What a small world! She was so sweet to find Rich a sandwich and chips since the cafeteria was closed unil morning. So then we settled in to our family suite and were told to rest since I would continue to be on fluids and we would have to wait for the oncall doctor to come in the morning. I tried to sleep but the sounds of the hospital and the air that pumped in my bed every time I moved made it impossible.
            The on call doctor arrived around 8:30 and it was great to see her. She was Andrea's doctor so she wasn't completely unknown. She decided to keep me for the day to make sure I was good and hydrated. I got to go home around 5 oclock in the evening with a water drinking regimen and a order to take it easy.

Update: Went to the doctor yesterday and since I still am having trouble keeping anything down she has put me on a clear liquids diet for a couple days to try and get me back on track. So I am living in the world of clear broth, jello and tea for a couple days. I will keep you posted. :)
