Well I went into the hospital Monday evening for dehydration, vomiting, and contractions that were 2-3 minutes apart. When Dan brought me to the hospital I hadn't kept any food down all day and was throwing up/dry heaving... YUCK!!!
So they gave me a shot to stop the contraction, thank goodness I wasn't starting to dilate. I spiked a fever in the middle of the night so in addition to the I.V. fluids they started me on antibiotics. When they ran some blood tests they were showing signs of infections.
It took the nurses three tries to hit a vein when they were trying to start the I.V. and finally got it on the third try. I was so dehydrated that the first two veins "blew".
By Tuesday I wasn't showing anymore signs of dehydration or signs of infection. But I was still on fluids, and the I.V. antibiotics. They were not letting my go home because of a elevated heart rate. So Tuesday evening they did a EKG and hooked me up to a heart monitor, which made for great sleeping. They did non-stress tests on the baby through out the day/night. Wednesday morning they did a echo-cardiogram on my heart, looking for a explanation as to why my heart rate was elevated.
Dan, my mom and I sat in the hospital all day on Wednesday waiting for the doctor to come in, and give us the results of the echo. The doc finally came to see my around 430pm on Wednesday evening and said I am going to send you home but you are going to be on bed rest.
So here I am at home just trying to take it easy. I have a follow-up appointment on Tuesday afternoon at 2pm. But until then I have orders for no work, no stress, not doing much of anything...
