(Some not so great)Adventures in the Hospital

What a weekend. Here's the low down on all that's been going on. I had a positive pregnancy test a couple of weeks ago. We were shocked, but excited, of course. I started having inexplicable abdominal pain on and off. I thought it was the new vitamins with probiotics, I thought it was nothing. The pain got so severe that I finally said I thought we should go to the ER, oh, and I had started bleeding some, too. We wake up the kids around 3am Sunday morning, arrive at the ER around 4am, they do some bloodwork and an ultrasound. The ER doctor, who happens to be a friend, reads the ultrasound but wants an OB/GYN to take a look. My OB reads it and comes in IMMEDIATELY to prep for surgery. I had an ectopic, tubal pregnancy. Not only that but it was about 12cm in diameter. All I can say is that God protected me!! Thankfully it hadn't ruptured, but he did have to remove one of my fallopian tubes and one ovary, along with about 500cc of blood/fluid from my belly. I spent 3 days in the hospital and am home now, continuing my recovery. I have a scar similar to someone who has had a C-section. We are so thankful for the care that I received, just glad to be home.

Here's a couple of pics from my hospital adventure. One of me looking very pale, but happy because I have a Morphine pump, and the other of some yummy, sweet smelling flowers my friend, Donna, brought me. Thanks again, Donna!
