Hospital Trip!

Hey Everyone!

AFTER the cave of death!

Well this week was a little slower going by but that is okay it was still really fun! Sunday we drove down to visit Mike's cousin Ann and her family! We stayed the night and the next day was Memorial Day! So we got up fairly early and went out on a hike! The hike was about 5 miles round trip, and we were actually hiking to a cave! The cave was dark damp and cold. It started out at ceiling height and then dropped to about 3-4 feet high, so hunching/squatting through was really the only option. Then it opened back up for about 10 feet and went back to a super low height of about 1 1/2 feet to 2 feet, which obviously required your best Army Crawl! Then after that was all said and done your final test was lifting yourself up and out of a very small hole  to exit the cave! Keep in mind I am 5 months pregnant, and since going back was not an option for me, I sucked in as best I could lifted myself out! Only a minor bruise was obtained during this adventure, but a lot of mud and dirt came with it also! After that was all said and done we went to an EXCELLENT ice cream place called "The Moose". We got the Black Raspberry Blitz...YUMMIE. Then we went back to Ann's house and had an amazing BBQ of pork chops and hot dogs! What a long day!

My leg bruise!

The next few days felt very dragged out as I was super tired from our adventure, but I also had developed on going nausea and a headache! Then on Wednesday night after eating dinner I decided to try taking a Tylenol to help with the body and headache, something triggered inside and it sent me running for the bathroom. I barely made it to the sink! I woke up 3 more times in the middle of the night to empty my stomach, and eventually it just turned into throwing up nothing. I tried taking a shower to feel better, which it did help until I tried to drink some of the water coming out of the shower head and about 5 minutes later I was throwing that up to! I called my OB here in Kokomo and she suggested I got to the ER. So I went to the ER, while Mike was at work and was admitted. They drew blood, collected a urine sample, and hooked me up to an IV for an hour. The also gave me some anti nausea meds, which made me have the taste if salt in my mouth! After the IV was done the nurse came in and informed me that I had a UTI and was dehydrated! When your pregnant symptoms of an UTI can include: lower abdominal cramping, nausea, headaches, backaches, and vomiting! So after 4 1/2 hours at the ER They gave me a Rx for antibiotics and nausea! But don't worry I am feeling MUCH better!

Mike's still been doing well with selling, the town he was knocking in this last week was about 1 1/2 hours away for he has been getting home pretty late! On the same night I went to the hospital the guy Mike was driving out to area with his car broke down on the way home. So Mike and the car group had to wait for someone to come get them and bring them back home! needless to say he got home even later that night!

But other than that everything is going well and were enjoying our summer! Thanks for all your love, support and prayers it means a lot to us!
