A late night at the Hospital.

So yesterday about 8:00 a.m I woke up feeling sick as normal. But throughout the day it kept getting worse and worse. I couldn't keep anything down not even a tiny swallow of water. I talked to my good friend Ashley and she said that both of her girls were sick with the stomach flu...I figured that I got something from them...because they were at my house the afternoon before....and we went to their house the prior evening. So needless to say I was really really sick.
I was in so much pain, and so dehydrated. I called my doctor, and he told me that I needed to get to the hospital to get an IV started because he was worried for the baby. So we went to the hospital about 7:30 last night. It took two hours for them to even get me in. I sat in the waiting room, and felt like I was going to faint. At this point my face and hands started going numb because of being so dehydrated and sick. I couldn't even sit in the chair any longer. So I laid done on the DIRTY ER waiting room floor (really I didn't even care at this point.) In fact there was some old ladies sitting across from us..who were so mad that they wouldn't get me in because I was so sick. They got me in, and started an IV. I had I think four bags of IVs and they ran a bunch of tests, gave me pain meds. They check on the baby, and the baby seemed to be doing fine. But needless to say I was so sick. They sent me home about 1:30 in the morning (I think). Today I feel like I've been hit by a truck...but at least I'm getting better. Our anniversary is on Monday and we were hoping to spend the night away tonight...but as you can imagine it's not happening. But I am getting better and hopefully by our anniversary I will be better.

Are you kidding me?!?! I can't believe they didn't get you in right away. I HATE the ER. I am so glad the baby is okay, but no fun for you. And the fact that you feel this way on your anniversary... yuck! Wait, what day is/was your anniversary? Hopefully you are feeling better. Hang in there. :)
