what a weekend....

i'll start off by telling you everything is fine with me and the baby. i had some kind of GI virus. they can't say for sure it was the flu. i got up wed morning feeling fine and ate breakfast and then on my way to clinical with my friend i started to feel sick so i asked her to pull over and i threw up. she continued to drive and just as i got to the psych center parking lot i had to throw up again. our clinical instructor said i could go home but after throwing up i felt better so i said i would stay. either way i got sick again less than 2 hours after so tony came to pick me up. we called the dr on the way home and they said if i am throwing everything up the only thing they could do for me was to give me a suppository. i opted to wait it out. i couldn't eat anything at all wed night. thurs morning i started to get ready for school and all i ate was a yogurt and oj and that can up as well. i went to school and called the dr again on the way and they wanted me to come in so i talked to my english teacher and she let me leave 45 mins early from class. i thought all they were gonna do was give me a suppository for the nausea and i would go home. but once they tested my urine, they found ketones and noticed i was burning fat instead of food. so they put me in the hospital for observation. within that time, i got worse and was throwing up bile, since i still wasn't eating anything that was all there was to throw up. they decided to keep me over night. they put me on a stress test for the baby thurs and noticed i was having contractions every 2 mins so they monitored those. it was just because i was dehydrated. they kept giving me IV fluids, monitoring the baby and asking me to eat something small every once and awhile. fri morning the dr came and said even though i still wasn't eating much cause i felt too sick at least i was rehydrated and said if i wanted to go home he was ok with that. and of course i said i wanted to go. i mean, who chooses to stay in the hospital. am i right?!?! i was able to keep fluids and food down starting sat but had the runs. i saw the dr yesterday and everything is good. so here i am feeling much better. that's my story.
