A Hard Week

Well after we decided to send Kolton to Fredericksburg for a few days so that I could rest and Dustin could get a much needed break, I seemed to have a rough couple days. By Tuesday evening we decided I needed to go to the ER for some more fluids. After a 2 hour wait, I finally got back to a room and my IV started. Long story short, we sat in the ER for nearly 6 hours I only got 2 liters of fluids due to the doctors not writing orders for more and a staff that refused to listen to me, we finally called my doctor and asked that I be admitted since I was unable to get the treatment I needed in the ER. So off to what they call the "short stay" unit. At this point I am regretting the decision to come to the hospital at all. The room they put me in was the size of a closet, with a shared bathroom, and a curtian for the door. After 24 hours in that room, I FINALLY got moved to a private room with nurses that were eager to do whatever it took to get me back home. So here we are on Friday, my doctor has set me up with home health care and as of last night, I have a zofran pump. This is a device much like an insulin pump, that stays in 24 hours a day administering small doses of zofran continously all day/night long. I am to get to come home tonight, or Saturday morning at the latest. Even more then that, I am looking forward to Kolton coming home. I can't wait to see his beautiful smile, and to hug him as tight and as long as he will let me. We are saying lots of prayers that this will be our last hospital stay, at least until this little one makes his or her big debut into the world.

Thank you again to everyone for their continued support and prayers. We are still very excited about the newest addition to our family, we just pray for healthier days ahead.

With Love,
Dustin, Jamie, & Kolton....and baby #2
