It has been an interesting week at my house.  I woke up in the middle of the night Saturday with horrible pains in my left side lower back it reminded me of when I was about this far along in my pregnancy (8 months) with Brightyn and had a kidney stone)  I was in a lot of pain for most of the day Sunday until about 2 PM when the pain became just too unbearable and Aaron took me to the hospital.  When I got there all I could think was I need drugs and I need them now.  FINALLY after throwing up a few times they came in with some morphine that helped for about 10 minutes.  They took me down for a sonogram to see if it was a kidney stone and they found 2.  They also found that I had an infection as well.  So throughout the next few days I lived on iv medication until that stopped working and I was needing more to keep me out of pain.  The doctor came in and recommended that I have a stent put in until the following week when I would be far enough along that they felt comfortable with inducing labor (37 weeks)  the only other option was to start labor then due to the amount of medication I was receiving which would eventually be very harmful for the baby.  So i decided to go with option 1 and have the stent.  The only GOOD part about having the stent put in was I was able to get a epidural which felt GREAT because for once in 4 days I was finally out of pain.  After the numbness wore off I was in more pain than I had been before the surgery.  AHHHH!  But each day got a little better the stent definitely doesn't take the pain away but I am able to take a pill form of pain medication which is healthier for the baby.  I am just trying to make it to next week to deliver the baby and then they will take me into surgery right after and blast these stones and remove the stent and hopefully then I will be out of misery and can enjoy this little one.  Its amazing how much we take for granite our health.  I have had so much help between my mom, grandma, mother-in-law and my unbelievable husband I could not have done this without them.  Thanks a million!  I love you so very much!
