Monkeys

Tuesday night... October 16th I don't think I will every forget as long as I live... So the last 2 weeks of course my kids had the flu/cough... whatever it is and finally again are doing fine. But this time around I ended up catching what they had. So Monday and Tuesday I was dragging trying to take care of my 3 kids... that consisted of me getting up, getting them food, clothes, books, crayons, whatever they needed and laying back down. Feeding Paige... and laying back down... waiting till finally Monkey could come home to help me. Anyways Tuesday for some reason as I was laying there my hip hurt way more than the usual. I couldn't lay on it or anything... it was so weird. It was kind of worrying me but I decided not to worry about it and tried to get my kids to sleep. I finally got everyone to bed and fell asleep without my husband who was gone for most the night. I suddenly woke up around  1 am....

My lower left side of my stomach was killing. Like pain I have never felt before only in child birth. I tried so hard to be quiet so I wouldn't wake up Monkey. No matter what positioned I laid in it got worse and worse- to the point I almost started screaming out loud. I held it in and woke Monkey up because something was not right. I asked him what side my appendix was on... he said the right and then out of no where the pain went out of control... It knocked the air right out of me. I hardly could breathe. I couldn't lay down or stay up or anything. It was so crazy. I asked Monkey for a blessing. He frantically looked for his oil and blessed me that I would be healed and whatever this was would be gone. Then I just covered my mouth to not make noise so I wouldn't wake the kids up and I started to get soooo light headed. I was about to faint. Monkey said I turned sheet white. I went into the bathroom and started throwing up. Monkey called the doctor and she said go to the ER immediately....

Me and my stubborn self said no because that meant waking a neighbor in the middle of the night. So I sat there for an hour and I don't even know what happened. The hour passed and it got so worse. So Monkey couldn't take it anymore and called my amazing neighbor who rushed over to stay with the kids. I was already in the car, don't ask how I made it there. I don't remember if I got shoes. Monkey grabbed Paige and we went straight to the ER. I could barely walk in there... they were asking all sorts of questions and I could barely answer. I just laid there dizzy and out of it. Trying not to make a seen I just stared at the ceiling telling myself over it was going to be ok. The nurse got my IV in and told me to go give a urine sample. I got myself in the restroom and....

I felt much better.... I looked at the sample and I had a rock lookin thing in there. A STICKIN KIDNEY STONE!!! Hahaha no way! I came out and said..."UMMMMM is this a kidney stone!???!" The nurse and doctor came and their eyes popped out and said, "Holy yes that is!" I looked at it and said, "I AM THE BIGGEST WIMP!" and I just laughed... then I said, "You mean to tell me that that little thing made that much pain... hahaha I am a Wimp!!!!" The doctor and nurse laughed and then the doctor said, "these are the most painful things besides child birth... believe me I have had ten of them and I have seen grown police officers come in here screaming and rolling everywhere in pain!!!!!" I felt a little better after he told me the police officer thing....

So they took me back to my room and for the first time that night I saw the complete worried out of his mind look on Monkey's face. He was terrified that I was going to die. I told him what happened and how I felt so much better. Fright turned to peace. I still felt so sick... It was probably because I still had the flu/cough... But I didn't feel right yet... so come to find out... I was also dehydrated very badly! So they pumped 4 pop cans worth of water in me and boy did I feel better. The nurse told me to give him a high five.... So I did and then he told me, "In all my life I have never seen someone pass a kidney stone that quickly, it's a miracle!" I immediately looked at Monkey and mouthed, "Your blessing!" I know Heavenly Father was with me and healed me so quickly that night. Instead of days of waiting I only did 1am-4:30am.

I got home and was so grateful to see my neighbor who was so willing to help me! I can not thank her enough. I can not thank my husband enough for having faith in the Lord enough to heal me through him, and for missing clinic and classes to watch the kids the next day so I could sleep. I can not thank my Heavenly Father enough for being with me and answering our prayers! I am so hoping I never have a kidney stone again.... no thank you. I thought of my Dad and my sister Natalie who I know have had one and I feel so bad for them and anyone that has to pass one of those monsters!! and mine was only 2mm.... Wimp I know! But grateful to have it gone. Now I just have to work on getting myself Hydrated and better from the flu or whatever I have, I feel much better today though!!! Right in time for Halloween and parties!!! Yay! Oh and Monkey told me this morning, "Man I was so scared... You seriously looked liked that girl from The Ring, it was awful. How pale you were made you look like you had no life in you!!!!"

Hahaha thanks babe!... Happy Halloween!!!
