Sickos!

Well, where do I begin...about 4 weeks ago we went to Mexico to visit Victors family. The night before we left, I was rushing to get everything done with packing...when all of a sudden the stomach flu decides to rush up on me!! I was praying that it would go away by the time we got on the plane, because that would not have been pleasant for the people sitting next to the bathroom! Well, my prayer was answered! I felt better, and was ready for the long day of travel...I still felt crumby! Well, our trip was so much fun! I cannot wait to go back!

When we got back from out trip, something horrible happened! We were sick!! I must have eated or drank something that was not sanitary...and we were REALLY careful!! Everytime I would eat something, it went right through me within about 5-10 min I was running to the bathroom! Well with all of this happening I had a doctors appointment to hear the babys heartbeat...the appointment turned out that they could not find a heartbeat, so they sent me to the hospital for an ultrasound. They wanted to see for sure what was going on. I at that point knew that the baby was gone. I have been through it before, and if they don't find it in the office, they are not going to find it on the ultrasound. As I am laying there getting the ultra sound done, it is just pure silence! I could see the baby not moving...and the nurse kept putting the pointer on it, but it was just flatlining. They said the baby looked about 7 weeks old and I was nine weeks along. I knew it...and so did Victor. We were both so disappointed. I was so looking forward to this new being!

Well, the day after I found myself very depressed and sick(mostly from the bacteria that I caught in mex). Victor came home and immediately called the doctor telling him that I was very sick...the doctor said to come in right away. Once I got there he hooked me up to an iv, telling me that I was VERY dehydrated! After about an hour and a half on it, I got to go home...feeling much better...and with a perscription to get rid of the stupid sickness!! He also told me the risks of the perscription he wanted to give me to get the miscarriage going. He told me that I would be in a lot of pain, but I was ready for it. I do not like the thought of a dead being inside of me.

I took the medicine, and got it going. It was so hard to deal with...thank goodness I have good friends and family to turn to! Then, since my blood type is RH- I have to get a shot when I am pregnant, or if I have a miscarriage. This shot hurts like heck! Really stings! I was so relieved once the whole process was over. I am sad, but happy for it to be over with!

Once I think things are going back to normal, we got hit up with the flu! My little Hailey has been sick since last Friday! We ended up taking her in on monday night because she was not getting better and was starting to say that her ears were hurting...poor thing has two ear infections and a horrible cough! We are recouperating, and hoping to see better days!
