Not so fun weekend...

Yes, i am alive everyone. I never saw this sickness coming. Thursday and Friday the right side of my stomach started hurting, like a stabbing pain, i thought it would go away but then i starting getting a fever pretty high. I didn't want to go to the doctors, first i was freaked out, i have never been before! Second i thought it would just go away...but i didn't exactly get my way.
Brett came home early Saturday from work and we called our bishop to see where he thought we should go, of course he was concerned and wanted us to call him every step of the way. We arrived at the Scottsdale hospital about 2:30, after filling out all the papers we needed too we sat in the waiting room for about 20 mins. It seemed longer to me, but once we got in, i changed into those hospital gowns and then they started hooking me up to all these IVs and taking my blood. I know a lot of you know how well i do with people drawing my blood and sticking needles in me...not well at all. Their first action was to try and get my fever down, it was to about 104, 105 when we got there. Once they got it down, they did a cat scan of me, which was actually really interesting! Then we went back to get the bad news from the doctor. I have an infection in my kidney, which will take a while to treated. We did get to go home that night, about 7:30 after they thought i was stable and my fever had gone down a lot, but we were at the hospital for a while. I'm glad it wasn't my appendix, sorry for lance and dad who had one. Here is a picture of me in the hospital



Anyways I'm slowly getting better, and will hopefully be ready to run by Thursday! They have me on 3 different pills one i take once a day, one i take twice a day, and one i take 3 times a day, which all make me very dizzy...I don't know how people can go to the hospital every day....i think i would die. Thanks for the support you guys are to Brett and I, we appreciate it.

  1. I'm so glad they were able to quickly get your fever down and figure out what was wrong with you. Take care of yourself and Brett! And good thinking leaning on the ward down there, I hope they continue to be a blessing to you guys. We're headed to the hospital on Friday to meet baby. Keep an eye out for pics! By-the-way, you look great in a hospital gown. :)
