Just updating from HOME

I just got home this afternoon. I was admitted last saturday almost as soon as I got there they knew they would keep me. I got admitted and had ultrasound the next afternoon. All this time on all liquids just in case. The next morning found out it was stones but all blood work was showing no infection or inflamation. Still al liquids and man did they keep those IVs going fast. Surgeon came in the next day and wanted to try antibiotics and some demerol. They did that the first 2 days. Next doc came in and switched from demerol to morphine said a little better for baby. So ok doc knows more than me. Did that till Wednesday morning and they swtiched me back to demerol cause that was taking most the pain away as morphine was only part way but morphine never really helped me even long time ago. So they give me the first shot of demerol which I have had the few days before and would you not know it...I had an allergic reaction to it. I was having neck and head spasms and was twitching like I was having a stroke and my arm was stuck to my chest or felt it and I kept stuttering and could not get my thoughts out. It was awful. They got me some meds to counteract it. Doc came in a little bit after and everything had calmed down and said lets not use demerol again. Fine with me cause my whole family saw all that going on and it was awful.
Next morning no relief from pain and surgeon said ok surgery tomorrow morning. We have to make open incision since baby is in all the areas we could go otherwise. I was terrified and I cried and was a very worried. What will this do to the baby. What will happen if we dont. All the what ifs I could think of. The surgeon said it was the best and that we gave the meds time and we did not have endless amounts to work with.
I have bruises all the way up both arms. They used every vein in my arms and blew 4 iv sites. I look like I have been beaten up. Its not good cause in the pharmacy this morning people were looking at my arms and my husband and giving us weird looks. I have black and blue arms and hands and I am so swollen I have no ankles or hands just puff balls.
Will update more soon!!

im so sorry that you are going through this.  You have been very strong through all of this.  Im glad that you and your little baby is ok.  I know it has to be painful and inconvenient then plus all the worrying and the what "if's".  I had the "what if's" problems and all they did was make me sick to my stomach.  I learned that "what if's" are lies that my brain puts in my head.  The reason why they are lies is because they havent happened.  So please keep that in mind and it will bring you a little peace in your heart.  Take care and keep me posted.  Hope you feel better and the LORD is watching over you. and your baby plus the rest of your family at home!!  talk to you soon.
