YOUCH!!!!!

So yesterday was not a good day for me.
In the morning I was planning on going to a friends house when I started to not feel so well in my stomach. I called and cancelled and tried to lay on the couch. Ty went off to school at about 9am. By 9 30 I was in so much excruciating pain I had to call my mom to come and watch Hannah because I felt like I needed to go to the walk in clinic. My mom got to our house by 10am. Since Tyler had the car we didn't have the car seat for Hannah. I then tried to call anyone I knew that could take me to the clinic because I couldn't stand the pain anymore. Thankfully my Oma was able to take me. When she came to pic me up she said that we should get to the hospital instead.
By the time we got there I thought I was going to die. The doctor took me almost right away since they thought that it could be my appendix that was causing so much pain. They got me into a bed pretty quick and got me hooked up to an IV and some pain killers...THANK YOU!! The doctors were stumped as to what it was since they knew it wasn't my appendix, they thought it could by my ovaries, kidney stones or a bladder infection, but I had had a bladder infection before and it felt nothing like this. So after doing many tests and an ultrasound they figured out it was 5mm kidney stone...OWWW!!! Tyler finally called home after is class at about noon and was surprised when my mom answered the phone. She told him what was happening and got to the hospital as soon as he could. He brought the breast pump so I could pump milk for Hannah.

After getting some medication and being sent home to pass it, they want it to pass naturally because if I had to go into surgery to have it removed I would be out of commission for a while (Hannah would have to be formula fed), So I'd rather go through some more pain for Hannah's sake. I feel soooo much better today. They gave me some meds (that would be safe for nursing) and I am taking Ibuprofen. They gave me some Tylenol 3 but i don't want to take them because they can affect Hannah (make her sleepy).

So after a very eventful day at the hospital yesterday and missing my little girl sooooooooo much, I am now home, trying to take it easy, and being taken care of by my wonderful hubby.
