Well as most of you know I ended up in the hospital AGAIN over the weekend. Thursday night outta nowhere I got this VERY intense abdominal pain/cramping. I called my doc and he told me if it did not go away within two hours to go to the ER. Well after about 2 hours it did stop. (The Intense/crampy part) I was still in some pain but it wasnt as bad and it was like 1am at that point so I decided to rest till morning and hope that it would get better overnight.......well it didnt. So I called my doc 1st thing and he told me to go the ER. So I did and they did a CT Scan on my abdominal area and they determined that my jejunum was swollen and irriatated. They think what may have happened, is my bowels twisted up and outta place, but THANK GOD then they twisted back into place. But this caused the swelling and irritation in my jejunum. They kept me in the hospital friday night for pain control (OMGo**** was soooo painful!) and they kept me on IVs since I was not allowed to eat or drink by mouth. Luckily I was able to return home Saturday evening though.

I am still in some pain but MUCH better.  I am just so thankful it wasnt anything worse! Thanks for all the prayers! :)

I'm so glad that everything is alright and that you are back home and resting!  Sorry you have to go on mushies again, but as they say "this too shall pass" and you'll be back to normal in no time!

Welcome Home April! You were in all of our thoughts yesterday and were missed at the Brunch. 
We look forward to next time when we can get together.

I'm glad you are feeling better and things "turned" out okay.

Take Care,
