Sicker than a dog!

This past week I had been feeling so crummy! At first I figured I was coming down with a cold/flu as I had body aches and was exhausted. As the week went on I still wasn't feeling better. Thursday came and I woke up with what felt like a bad back ache that reached into my stomach as well. I figured it was from my tummy muscles stretching for the growing baby along with sleeping funny. As the day continued it worsened to the point where I had to take Tylenol to get the pain under control. Tj and I went out to eat that night with Jessica and James and the pain worsened. We got home that evening and I laid in a warm bubble bath to try and relax my muscles. As soon as I got to bed I started fevering and shaking uncontrollably (as Tj snored lol) I woke him up and he went to the gas station and grabbed more Tylenol and finally after a good two hours, I fell asleep. I woke Friday morning feeling a little better but the pain was still there! Around 12 Tj left for a dentist appt and I started vommiting. I called my mom and she told me I better go to the ER. We went in and after labs and an ultrasound, we found out that I had a horrible kidney infection which is very dangerous for baby (if left alone) I was admitted into the hospital and had to stay two nights. After lots of pricks and bags of fluids and antibiotics they let me go Sunday morning. What an experience, which I hope I never have to go through again! After my 8 days of antibiotics, I have to be on a medication to help prevent infection until I have Raelinn. This pregnancy has been nothing of what I expected....but as long as she gets here healthy, I'll do what it takes!

  1. Oh wow Shaunna! I'm so glad that you are doing so much better & that you are both ok. UTI's are bad enough...but a kidney infection is so scary!!! I'm glad your mom had you go to the ER & they caught that! Hope the rest of your pregnancy is "uneventful"
