This morning marn woke up and wasn't feeling well. Had the feeling like she had to pee all the time so suspected that she had a U.T.I., or bladder infection. We called our doctor's office who has a doctors on call service and after talking to them, they suspected the same then gave us a prescription for antibiotics.
After getting and taking the first dose she started feeling worse and started having pain in her abdomen and lower back... and then started barfing. 3 or 4 times in an hour, so we called the doc's back who then suggested that we go to the labour and delivery department at the hospital for more thorough diagnosis and urine sample to confirm an infection. They would fax the info over so that they would be expecting us.
So here we are. Marn's been sick a few times since being here and after talking to the nurses and resident doctor, they don't think anything is wrong with the baby, thankfully. They do suspect that it's a UI or bladder infection, and they've been tossing the terms bladder stones, or kidney stones around. We're still waiting for the urine samples back to confirm anything.
Marn's got an I.V. in now along with morphine and gravol for the nausea and is resting. Not sure what happens from here, but I assume that once we hear back from the tests and once she gets through a bag of saline, we'll be going home. The prescription we have will continue, and she'll probably get something else for the pain.
I'll update later...
Get well soon Marn! :(
