A fun few days in the hospital......

So, I have been meaning to up date our blog with all our fun pics & stories from Halloween & from a great weekend of camping, but unfortunately.....I have not been able to do much these past few days! Kiley was on call Monday (meaning he went into work at 5 am & would not be home until around 7:30ish Tuesday morning). I went running a few miles in the morning & then met up with my good friend Kate to go on our almost 5 mile walk we do every day. I noticed that my side hurt a little, but didn't think much of it. Well, come early evening, I am not feeling so hot. I thought for sure the flu was coming to pay me a visit. I fell asleep around 10:45 & not even 2 hours later I am running to the bathroom. I didn't get a wink of sleep from then on. I threw up around 30 times & had diareah as well (you all are so glad to know that right!?). I paged Kiley around 3:30am & told him I was on my death bed. I had a piercing pain on my right side & I thought that for sure what ever I had was more than just the flu. Well, Kiley got home several hours later & helped get the kids out the door. I laid around all day hoping I would feel better & finally at 4 I decided I needed to head to the ER. In the military world, we get to experience Socialized Medicine. To some of you that means absolutely nothing, to others, you understand why I mention it. We dropped the kids off at our friends house & off we went. I had to drink Contrast, which is AWFUL, so that I could get a CAT SCAN. To make a long night & story short, they decided it was Appendicitis(sp?) & were ready to rush me up to the OR to be operated on. Of coarse, I was not really prepared for that, but figured oh well, it may help me loose these last 10 lbs! :) Just kidding! Any how, the Staff OR Doc came & talked with us & he just wasn't convinced by the CAT SCAN that is was my appendix. They kept me overnight to monitor me. Well, they decided to keep me for 2 days, 2 LONG days & the out come????? Nothing is wrong with me. My blood work is perfect & I am in great condition. They aren't sure what it all was. I guess I just really needed a break from Mommy & Wifey world! :) I got home this morning & was so excited to see little Livy. I am so glad that she takes formula well & that I didn't have to worry about her. I did send a few bottles home with Kiley after I pumped, just in case we ran out of formula. Any how, I am so grateful for my health & for all the wonderful friends that I have here in Texas who helped our little family out so much these past few days! I feel so blessed & loved!
The picture is scarey, but this is me as of this morning! I sure look happy to be home!
