My 2nd Trip to Community Hospital...

My second trip to Community Hospital did not include giving birth to another baby (thank you, God), but it was a trip I wish I wouldn't have had to make. Last night I started feeling extremely nauseous around 7 PM, so I took some pepto-bismol and made a couple of trips to the bathroom (sorry...not meaning to be gross here). By 8:15 PM, the nausea was worsening, so I called it a night and headed to bed. I thought I would fall asleep for the night and wake up feeling refreshed. I suddenly woke up at 9 PM, rushed to the bathroom, and vomited. For the next three hours, I continued to vomit 8 more times and went diarrhea a total of 5 times (again, sorry for the graphics). By mid-night and 9 rounds of vomiting, CJ and I decided that it was time to take me to the emergency room. Thankfully CJ's Mom only lives about 2 minutes away from the hospital, and she graciously agreed to let us drop Trin off by her on our way. I proceeded to vomit again on the way to the hospital and three more times at the hospital...for a grand total of 13 times!!!!!!!!!!!!

We arrived at the hospital around 12:45 this morning. I was asked a series of questions, gave multiple units of blood, was hooked up to an IV (I was given two complete rounds for my dehydration, plus antibiotics for the nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), and prayed for the madness to end. I urged CJ to go back to his Mom's to get some rest, but he refused to leave me (thanks babe). I was finally discharged around 5:15 this morning. Needless to say, neither CJ nor I got much rest last night. I am so thankful for God giving me the strength to somehow make it through it all. I have never vomited 13 times...that's rather ridiculous in my opinion! And do you remember my Blog post back in November when CJ and my Dad had to take me to Urgent Care the night after Thanksgiving because I had a severe Migraine and threw up 5 times? So I have now made a trip to the ER twice in the past 8 weeks. I would be fine with never having to visit there again.

I told CJ once I started feeling better this morning, "I don't ever want to visit this hospital again unless I'm visiting a friend or family member in the Labor and Delivery unit!!!"

Princess Triniti...

*Ahhh...being at home with Triniti for the past 5 days has given me the opportunity to get a lot more things done than usual (such as updating my Blog more than once in a blue moon). Enjoy the pictures!


*This is the shopping cart that my sister got
Triniti for Christmas. Trin can now pull herself
up to a standing position, and as you can see from
her smile above, she sure is enjoying it!

*One would look at the picture below and think,
"Why would Triniti be so fascinated with a cabinet?"
Well, to find the answer to that question, keep
looking below...


*Aha! This is not just any cabinet that Trin is fascinated
with...it's the cabinet that holds her sippy cups! Whenever
Triniti is free to crawl around the house, without fail, she
goes directly to this cabinet and climbs as high as her little
legs will allow...

*Trin's second favorite thing to do...eat (her first favorite

thing to do is drink out of her sippy cup).
