Well, Mallory escaped a surgery on Friday. No, it isn't because she doesn't need it now. It is because now her mom needs her own surgery!
Over the last month and a half I have been in the emergency room 4 times. Now I can add the Primary Childrens ER as one of my visits. Which is funny to me! Everyone kept telling me to "breathe in through your nose then blow out of your mouth like you are blowing a candle" (say this like Glenda the Good witch would) Then I was transported, by ambulance mind you, the entire 2 min to get to the U of U hospital. What a day. If it wasn't for the fact that I was in some serious pain, I might have felt really dumb. :)
So we finally found the problem. I thought the first time this happened that I was for sure having a heart attack. I thought I would die for sure (seriously). I couldn't breathe and it felt like my heart was going to burst from all the pressure. Man, it hurts! The second time it happened, I still didn't know what it was, but I did know that I wasn't going to die. So I just had to suffer until they could knock me out in the ER with some Morphine. The third time (PCMC) was about the same, but they finally found the problem with an ultra sound. I have a lot of gall stones and will have to have surgery to remove my gallbladder. It is pretty common, so I am not worried. SURGERY-SCHMURGERY is what we like to say in our house :) The 4th time was just Sunday night when we got home from Utah. 2 Loritabs didn't even touch the pain, it just made it a little harder to form words!
So now I have an appointment with a surgeon to make an appointment for surgery, silly huh?! That is tomorrow. Mallory is rescheduled for Aug. 4th. Which is a crazy weekend. Mallory sugery on the 4th, Shalise's wedding on the 5th, babies b-day on the 6th, Mallory and Dawson Neuro surgery appts on the 8th and Dawson surgery (circ revision) also on the 8th. Get Dawson out of the hospital and drive home on the 9th. WOW!! Did I miss anything. I sure hope not!!
All I can say after all of this is....Jake you are our only hope! Don't get sick!
We will keep you all updated and I will put up more pics soon!
