Goodness gracious. Yesterday I took Kristie to the ER at Swedish in Seattle. She was complaining of stomach pain for several hours. We arrived at 4 p.m. got in to see a doctor at 5:30 p.m.
They took a urine sample, took a stomach x-ray, did a kidney ultrasound, drew blood for labs. Her creatinine was 3.2 so they admitted her overnight to give her fluid via an IV. Ironically, her stomach quit hurting about the time we arrived...go figure.
On top of all that, I started getting the flu about 5 p.m. (while in the ER room) and was sick the entire time. Nigel didn't get home from Hawaii until midnight and took a taxi straight to the ER to see Kristie and drive me home. I threw up in the car on the way home...lovely.
Kristie spent the night at the hospital by herself...first time ever. The nurses took good care of her though and we arrived at 9 a.m. this morning. Discharge orders had already been written so we were home by 11 a.m.
I'm still sick....AARRGGHH!
We got another 6 inches of snow today. Still can't get in the driveway. Nigel's out shoveling right now.
This snow reminds me of growing up in Minnesota! BRRRRR.
Nigel's son is supposed to arrive tonight from LA at 10 p.m. Wish us luck!
Katie, Nich and Calla arrived in Blackfoot, ID this afternoon and are having fun with YaYa and Serpa. (YaYa and Serpa are Nich's Mom and Step-Dad, Cathie and Scott.)
