Update

Well, I haven't posted in a while (a week is a long time for me :-), but wanted to let everyone know I'm okay. I ended up in the ER early Monday morning last week with a kidney infection. I knew Friday I was coming down with one and since it was over the weekend, I decided to see if I could wait until Monday morning to treat it. I was planning on calling my doctor right at 8:30 when they opened to come in for some antibiotics, but my body decided it really didn't want to wait. So, around 5 in the morning I finally went to the ER. John stayed here with the kids and watched them. I went to the Frisco hospital since my doctor is in Frisco on Mondays and his office is in the hospital. I was hoping to see him while I was there. At 6 the ER doctor told me they were admitting me for a kidney infection and started antibiotics immediately through an IV. I got settled in the anti-partum unit and waited to call my doctor at 8:30. I had a really great nurse and she actually new my doc was in surgery that morning and managed to get a hold of him just before he went for surgery around 7ish. He was upset no one called him earlier, but said he'd discharge me if I came straight up to his office after he got out of surgery. They pumped me full of liquids and antibiotics for a few more hours and then by 10 I was heading up to his office. He of course grilled me about waiting this long with an infection and then sent me back home with some more antibiotics. If I wasn't feeling better in 24 hours though he wanted me back in the hospital. Hmmm, 24 hours later I still wasn't feeling better, but I decided to give the drugs another day to work. By Wednesday I was feeling better, but not 100% and I still had lower back pain. I called my doctor back and asked what he wanted to do, hoping he'd just change my antibiotics at home vs. sending me back to the hospital. He did and I'm doing much better now. I went back to see him yesterday and everything is looking good with the baby. We heard the heartbeat and he was happy I finally put on a few pounds. He's having me come back next week as well for another culture test just to make sure the infection is gone, but everything looks to be back in order.
