Oh my goodness. I have never been in so much pain in my life. On Wednesday night, I ate Spagetti and cheese, a handful of regular lays chips, and at 11pm, I felt like I was dying. I kept having to burp, but couldnt. I had this horrible pain just under my ribcage on my right side, and right through to my back. I did not sleep a wink that night, and vomited for 3 hours straight. I finally woke Chris up at 7 to take me to the hospital, but he made it a point that the doctor opened at 9am, and since the ER has been a waiting disaster, waiting to see the DR might be faster. I got an appointment at 11:45, by this time the pain had subsided quite a bit. My doctor poked and proded me, made me cry, did this did that, asked athousand questions, then told me it was likely my Gallbladder. He called it Cholecystitis, basically gallstones in my inflamed gallbladder. I am the right age and the right weight for it to happen. He ran a lot of bloodtests and I have an ultrasound on Monday, but I have to wait for results and such before I know for sure. But I am pretty sure. He gave me some Tylenol #3 and gravol, and the combination of the two make me warm and fuzzy inside. I slept finally, for 14 hours, that was nice after not being able to at all, and I am on a diet of the plain and bland. After not eatting for a whole day my stomach was flat for the first time in years, lol. I cannot eat anything with highfat, or even moderate fat, I have to eat salads and drink fluids. Its good, a good kickstart to a healthier new year.
Anyhow, thats all so far. The pain is still there, but not as predominant as it was before, just a dull ache now. I am feeling somewhat better, but not really.
More to come when I find out more.

Moving, and sick.
It has been a really tough month here, December can go straight to he** for all I care. My poor child has been so ill, he had a lung infection, and just as he was getting over it, I got really sick with bronchitis, and he got sick again. We have been dealing with non stop sleeping and fevers. We also moved within all of this. So not only is Ikey dealing with being super sick and sleepy, he is also attempting to adjust to his new surrounding. We also discovered that he is severely allergic to dogs while he was being babysat by his Gramma and Papa. He had a bit of a bad hive reaction on Christmas Day at my parents, but on the 29th of December at his other gma and papa's he because puffy and swollen. We needed to take him to the hospital, even though they didn't do anything, I wanted to be there just in case he went anaphylaxic. The doctor switched him from Benadryl to Clairatin.
I am finally better, I had to take 3 different regimes of medications to find the right combination, I was diagnosed with Bronchial Pneumonia, but my lungs were clear, I just could not catch my breath for the life of me. I am finally better though after I was put on prednisone for 5 days. I feel sorry for people who have to take prednisone for longer then 5 days, they were so hard on my stomach I was on the verge of vomiting every second of the day. '
I haven't been getting much sleep, since Ikey has been sick he seems to whine all night in his sleep, then wake up and want to get up at 3am. I think on average I am getting about 4 hours a night, at least for the last week.
Christmas was nice, we had a nice little family morning, just the three of us, then we went to my in laws for the rest of the morning, then to my dads for the day and dinner, where we ate lasagna, mmmm. I love my parents lasagna. Our new years was uneventful, we had originally had plans to go to a friends house, but because Isaac had such a high fever we decided against it and spent the night at home, asleep before midnight (preparing to be up with the toddler at 3am).
It has been nice to start the new year off in a new house though, much better then living in an apartment, although I do miss it. Adjusting to house heat and water is different, and I find myself cold very often, and having everything in boxes isn't helping either, I can not find ANYTHING in my house, haha. So far so good.
