Back from the ER... again.

Yeesh, it seems like I go in there a couple times a month. I got a call from GI today letting me know that I need to go to the ER. I've had a fever of 101.8 for the past 3-4 days and my edema has gotten worse. I've also been experiencing excruciating pain in my upper right abdomen (they'll be doing an u/s of my gallbladder sometime in the future). When I went into triage, my temp and blood pressure were normal as well as baby's heart rate. About 5 minutes later, I was brought back to one of the ER exam rooms. They hooked me up to the machine that measures baby's heart rate and contractions. They had trouble finding the heart rate, but were able to get it after placing 2 huge pads and a roll of tape (yes, the actual roll) on top of it and having me hold it down. I started getting contractions every 3-5 minutes. I got a lecture about preterm labor and was sent home with the diagnosis of a cold. GI was worried I had an infection, which I don't. The ER staff was worried about the flu/swine flu (don't have either) and strep (not that either). They were going to do a pelvic exam and FFN (preterm labor test), but must have forgotten about me. It was a bit of a frustrating experience. So now I'm at home, not knowing if I'll be going into labor any time soon. They didn't give me anything to stop - or at least slow - my contractions. Yay for incompetence!!

Anywho... about my day... I'm just doing the points because I have to hook up to my IV.

I feel like such a failure! I broke my fast today, about an hour after my 1 week mark. It started with some lemon water and progressed to a burrito and fat-free soft serve. I'm re-starting Removyl tomorrow morning. I lost over 30 lbs in a month on that. I figured it's worth a shot, right? I'll run in the morning too. I just feel so sick from all that food. I'm gonna go take my meds and get some sleep now.

253 lbs

Day 6 of my water fast.

I started having really bad upper abdominal pain last night. I'm getting a little nervous about that. I know that it could mean I'm starting to have problems with my liver and possibly that I have pre-eclampsia (serious pregnancy condition - essentially high blood pressure and protein in your urine). If I do have it, I would have to be induced and have my baby early, as the baby's birth is the only treatment. Until then, I will simply exercise as much as I can, in hopes of lowering my chances of developing pre-eclampsia. My hands and feet are really swollen, too, which is a very common side effect of pre-eclampsia.

I'm really dizzy tonight. I was busy chasing my son around all day and I kept forgetting to stop and take a drink. I think tonight's gonna be an early night.

I'm fine. My husband didn't think it was serious enough to warrant a trip to the ER. He thinks I'm exaggerating and am turning into a hypochondriac. He also essentially told me that I need to go till Monday without eating anything and if I'm still vomiting blood, we'll go to the doctor's office. No, he's not supportive of my ED. He doesn't even know that I'm slipping back into it. On the bright side, he's making sure I don't eat anything until Monday afternoon. However, he's also making sure I don't exercise until then either.

I have to go get my son something to eat. I'll update again later.

Thanks for your care and concern. It really means a lot to me.

Kate
