What a weekend!

Well this past weekend was full of "adventures". I never get sick- however, this weekend changed that. I woke up Saturday morning in pain. My stomach hurt so bad. I ended up having to call Care Now and get in for an appointment. Kent had to leave to get some things done- so it was just me and Kensley at home. Luckily, my friend Whitney offered to keep her at her house. She was a lifesaver! I dropped Kensley off there on my way to Care Now. They did an x-ray of my stomach, blood work and then a uranalysis. They thought it could be an ulcer so they gave me the lovely "cocktail" shot. Well, that only made my pains worse and I threw up. So they told me I needed to go to the ER so they could take more extensive tests and do a sono of my stomach. Lindsey lives up here, thankfully- and she was off work! She was going to come over and visit- little did she know, she was getting herself into something more! haha She came with Kent up to Care Now to pick me up. I couldn't drive because the pains were so bad. We picked up Kensley, went to the house and then headed to the ER. Kensley had her first day trip to the hospital- she did great! After 5 hours & morphine, we were ready to be released. They gave me three medications- for stomach ulcers, UTI and nausea. I thought I couldn't nurse Kensley but after talking to a friend that is a pediatric nurse, she told me I could! I was SOO happy- because Kensley is very anti-bottles. It's bad. I am feeling a little better now... this is not fun!

My mom came up here to help out today while Kent is at work. Last night Kensley was such a big girl! She slept in her crib! I was so excited! Hopefully we can do that two nights in a row!
