CRAZYNESS

Life has been crazy. Mitch is in the process of getting a job as a firefighter. It's hard because it's such a long process. I can't wait til he gets a job. I will be starting school again in May. I can't wait. I will continue my major as Dance education. I will start taking those classes in the fall and focus on my generals. We are so excited that Jacob is here after 18 long hours of labor and a C-section. He is a blessing to Mitchel and I. He is so well behaved. I can already tell that he is a daddy's boy. Everytime Mitch is at an intership between 12 and 48 hours he can tell. He just loves his daddy. On March 24th I had some right side pain. When I recently went to the ER on the 4th of March the Dr said that it was just cist exploding in my overies and made it swell. I didn't think anything of it on the 24th. I thought it was the same thing. The next morning I woke up. Mitch was at school I had the baby in the crib and the pain was terrible. I could barely pick Jacob up. When I struggled to walk upstairs, I knew something was wrong. I told my dad that I needed to go to the doctor. When Mitch got home, He took me to the Instacare where they told us to just go down to the ER to save money since we'd need a CT scan. We got to the ER and we walked right in. I had the same nurses as I did earlier in March. They could tell something was very wrong. Within 5 min after returing from the CT scan, they came back with the result. It was my appendix. They said I needed to be transported to Utah Valley to have it taken out. Mitch was able to transport me since he is an EMT. We walked into their ER and within 10 min I was in emergency surgery to get my appendix out. After I woke up I was in extreme pain. Air bubbles in my shoulders and throughout my body. It was horrible. The PA came into my room and explained that my appendix did burst at the tip and the whole thing would have burst if we came in any later. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days. After I was discharged I was in so much pain for about 5 days. I went to my one week appointment and they asked if i'd been taking my antibiotic. I told them I was never given one. I was in so much pain the told me to get another CT scan after they wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic. the CT scan came up with lots of fluid still down there. They said the antibiotic would clear it up. I am now not in pain. It is such a great mood because of it. That has pretty much been the first part of our year. Lets just say my stomach has been through alot.
