I am so sorry that I am such a slacker! I promise to catch up with lots of pictures as soon as I get Halloween pictures from my mom.
First, I want to write about my fantastic week. (Please add sarcasm when you read "fantastic"). So it all started Sunday the 7th... We were at church and the nursery people brought Daniel to me because he was stinky. As I was changing his diaper, my stomach began to hurt. I took him back to nursery and decided to wait out the ache through Sunday School. When it ended, I told Cody that I had to go home. So we went and got Daniel and headed home. At home, I ran to the bathroom and threw up and other not so fun stuff. Now, it was Fast Sunday, so I was amazed at the amount I could throw up for not eating anything. Anyways, Cody made me soup and brought me water, but the second I would drink some or eat some, I would need to throw up. Well, after a few hours my stomach ache became a horrible pain, it felt like someone was sitting on my chest. Cody gave me a blessing and I hoped that it would go away... It didn't. Soon I was gasping for air. Cody was panicked and decided to take me to the ER. He helped me get dressed and then got Daniel ready as I laid there thinking I was going to die that day. Then Cody came and helped me get dressed. Cody carried Daniel to the car, then looked to see where I was. It was so painful that I had to scoot down our stairs! When we got to the ER, there was a line! So I sat down and gasped as people stared at me, and Cody stood in line. A poor little boy, probably Daniel's age or a little older, was brought in and taken to the front of the line because his head was split open... Even though there was a line, it didn't take too long to get into a room. They immediately started me on fluids through an IV. After all the questions, they took my to get an ultrasound. I'm pretty sure I am bruised from it. As soon as we got back from the ultrasound, a doctor came in and proceeded to tell me something about a hole in the placenta....?? The ultrasound technician was like, "Wrong patient! She's not pregnant!" Oops, and darn it... Anyways, it all came down to gall stones. One doctor came in and told me I needed it out that night! The next doctor came and gave me names of surgeons to go see. They need to work on communication there. Well, they gave me anti-nausea drugs through my IV along with some pain medication that made the room spin. After the fluids were almost empty, they let me go home with some Lorotab. Yesterday (Sunday the 14th) was the first time since then that I was able to eat anything. It hurts when I eat too much (which now is how much I used to eat!). I'm pretty sure I have lost 5lbs....
Anyways, I am doing better now. I'm scared to eat fatty foods and soda doesn't even sound good anymore!!! Hooray!! What a way to diet!
Spiritual story:
This is very special to me. While Cody was giving me a blessing and while he was dressing me Daniel kept smiling and waving at the corner of my room. At the time I was freaked out and totally sure that someone was there to take me away (I thought I was dying). Now that I think about it, I am so sure that they were there to comfort me and my family. I was so grateful that Danny was distracted and not getting worried by my cries. I know I had a guardian angel with me that night!!
Bonus: Great Grandpa Oscar - Look at our golfer in training!!
Daniel had lots of fun carving the pumpkins. I didn't get pictures of the finished carvings. Cody did Puss in Boots. I did Jack Sparrow. And Daniel's was Mickey Mouse! They turned out cute!
Daniel was a cute monkey, and Cody and I were pirates. He was so funny. At first he didn't really know what was going on, but after a few doors he was getting the hang of it. We would put him on the doorstep and he would start gabbering at the door! When the people answered, then he went quiet. We need to work on manners before next year. He was very demanding and would grab lots of candy, or take FOREVER choosing a piece!! Luckily, people thought he was too adorable to be mad!
