I ended up being very sick and ended up registering at the hospital with the woman who admitted me when I delivered Gracie. Today my doctor suspects that I have gallbladder problem so he sent me for an ultrasound.
I sat in the waiting room stairing in the office of that admitting lady, trying to hold back the flash backs, when guess which ultrasound tech comes to get me? The same one I had when we first became aware that Gracie had heart problems. Flashbacks were rampant and tears on the verge. She asked my name and date of birth and I barely could say it without my voice cracking. I was already flashing to the day I found out Gracie had died and would give birth to her. Now I'm flashing to when the ultrasound tech kept taking the picture after picture of Gracie's heart but wouldn't tell me a thing. Today she wouldn't tell me anything either. "I don't have credentials to make any guesses."
So we leave the hospital and after not having anything to eat for over 24 hours at this point and the nausea is reeaaallly bad, the only thing that sounds good: BlueRaspeberry ICEE. The only thing that sounded good when I was pregnant with Gracie and having morning sickness: BlueRaspberry ICEE. Well at least this is a good memory to reflect on her 6 month birthday. Who would have thought that I would enjoy thinking of the morning sickness I had when I was pregnant with her and she was still with us.
Still don't know what's wrong with me. The ultrasound showed nothing wrong with the gallbladder. Still running more tests.
Baby blueberry, sweet Gracie, I wish you were here with us today. I've been missing you soo much!! I love you sweet girl.
Thank you BB for thinking of my girl:)
Thinking of you (and hoping you feel better soon and they figure it all out!!!)
ReplyDeletePraying for you!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you Monica! and a happy 6 month (belated) birthday wish to your sweet, Gracie. XOXO
ReplyDeleteHappy 6 month birthday Gracie
ReplyDeletePerhaps the next step would be a HIDA scan if the US showed your GB was normal? I do those scans a lot when the US is normal and sometimes the HIDA isn't normal. A HIDA scan checks the function of the gallbladder. If they end up ordering one on you send me an email b/c I do these scans at my job.
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better tonight. Sending love to you and Gracie. xo
ReplyDeleteHappy 6 months baby girl! I am keeping you guys in my thoughts and prayers!!!
