ER IV

Last night I spent three hours in the ER getting IV fluids.



The back story is boring but graphic. Suffice it to say that I have vomited a lot lately. The nurse at my OB's office demanded a little excursion to the ER, so I complied. As ER visits go, it wasn't so bad. I was alone, the ER wasn't busy, and I jumped ahead of a few people because of my symptoms. I was in a bed within 15 minutes of my arrival, and I was home before my bed time.

The bummer is that a bag of fluids and IV Zofran didn't change my life. Oh, how I hoped they would! The road to August seems really long, so I'm just going to set my sights on noon today and see how it goes.

Nothing is dull in the life of pregnant Heidi! So so sorry it didn't give you the results you were after. Wish I could be of more help to you.

'...the bummer is...' You are the master of understatement. I know you must have felt terrible. I salute you.

Poor Heidi! With Jason I was on home health care getting twice a day IV and IV zofran. The IV zofran really only works (and then somewhat) when it is given consistently over time. Hope you just getter realy quick . . . but if not, we should talk more! Thinking of you, Heather

Nothing seems further away when your pregnant, then your due date. I hope it goes by fast though. I am so sorry...I wish it was easier. A half day at a time is a good plan...make it to nap time, then make it to bed time...good luck, Heidi, I feel for ya and I send my well wishes.

I am very so you are having such a hard time. You are wise one day at a time. My prayers are with you.

Miss Heidi, I think that is true charity. A true sacrifice of love (giving up the ability to hold food down) to bring these cute little munchins to the world. Prayers headed your way!
