Pregnancy update....

So I was hoping that this pregnancy would be easier than the last. Wishful thinking, I guess. Monday afternoon I was sent to the hospital per my doctors orders to get an IV treatment for dehydration. I had to go to a hospital clear across town because that is where my doctor does his deliveries. I spent seven hours in the ER before I got to see the doctors. I sent Jason and Trey home once three hours had passed because Trey needed to get his homework done. Trey was quite concerned and didn't want to leave me there. I felt so bad. At around 11:00 p.m I finally got to see the the doctor. They immediately gave me an IV. I had three bags of solution pumped into my veins before I could go home. I was so dehydrated that after two bags I didn't even need to use the restroom. They made me drink some orange juice and made sure it didn't come back up before I could go home. I called Jason around 3:00 a.m. and told him that I was about to be released. Him and Trey came and got me and I finally made it home around 4:00 a.m. I talked to my doctor and they are thinking about putting me on a pump that will pump medicine into me 24/7. It scares me a lot. I will do anything I need to do to keep myself and this baby healthy but I am definately nervous about it. The home health called me today and talked to me about the pump. They will show me or Jason how to stick the small needle into my upper thigh and I will have to carry the pump around which is only the size of a small remote. They are talking to my insurance today and will get back to me within 24-48 hours. I will keep you updated on my condition. Pray for me!
