Mother’s Day in the ER

Sounds fun, huh?
I was only getting worse today – was up through the night again, and my fever was getting higher, and since most stomach viruses only last 24 hours and then it had been over 48 hours, we went back to the doctor. He sent us to the ER to get checked for appendicitis. The doc at the ER didn’t think I had appendicitis, but they did rehydrate me. While I was getting rehydrated, they gave me some sort of super IV med that knocked me out within 5 seconds. So, for the 2 hours we were there, I was completely unconscious, and poor Chris had to just sit there – at least they have nice flat screen TV’s in ER rooms and he was able to watch a whole movie.
Luckily for us, my parents are wonderful and STILL have Ali – what a blessing! I miss her a ton though, but I CERTAINLY don’t want her to get this – that would be horrible!
I’m trying to figure out a way to make this blog more amusing and entertaining, but I think I’m still fuzzy from that medicine. Oh well, sorry – it is what it is. I’ll try to be more entertaining later.

Thanks everyone! No, they just still think I had a really bad stomach virus. I am feeling much better today. Still have some symptoms, but definite improvement!
