I spoke too soon.....
Yesterday I went to see the Gastroenterologist....well let me back up....on Thursday I had some heartburn again, but I had had some caffeine so I just figured it was related to that. Friday I was fine and then Saturday and Sunday I started to have some chest pain again...which leads me to the gastroenterologist. His first question was, "so I read you have been feeling well, is that still the case?" I told him what had gone on over the weekend and he said we needed to do more labs. Our family Dr called this morning and said all the infection and inflammation labs were back up and I needed to have an MRI....TODAY. Well today was not good for me. I had no one for Brynlee and I work tonight. The last thing I wanted to do was drive to Champaign this morning and again this evening. She called back about 20 minutes later (at 10:10) and said I needed to be there at 11:15. Well it takes me 40 minutes to get to Carle and I still had no one for Brynlee. (Not to mention that neither of us were out of PJs yet, or showered) So of course I went into panic mode. My Dr actually told me I could take Brynlee to her and she would keep her while I went to Champaign. I of course didn't want to do that....she was at work! So I called one of the best friends in the world, Jen Young...she just so happened to have been in the car with her little girl Audrey on their way to Bloomington so she stopped to get Brynlee! (She is such a life saver!) I was still late for the appointment but they got me right in. The abscess is bigger than it was. SO for now they are treating conservatively with Augmentin again (the med I stopped taking because of the risk to our little man) so I am an emotional basket case right now. I really don't want to take it but having this infection puts me at high risk for delivering early, so I don't know what's worse. They also said that after little man gets here that we will have to do something more aggressive, possible surgery. Not a way to start the week!! I had 3 appointments for next week already and since all of this today, I now have 5! One piece of good news...we are in the 3rd trimester! YAY! Please be praying for our little man! I have so much anxiety and guilt right now not knowing what I am putting him through.
