Last night I was released from the hospital, and I am so happy to be home again. My kidney stone still hasn't passed, but it's almost out. I started to develop fevers on Sunday, and by 3am on Monday morning, my fevers shot sky high. The highest one we know of was 104. Levi took me to the nearest hospital for evaluation, where they informed us that I had a kidney infection and that I would be hospitalized for several days. They also informed us that it was possible that the infection would cause me to go into labor. I was having regular contractions at this point that were 5 minutes apart. They also said I was dilated to a 3. I was given some drugs to stop the contractions and an IV with 2 rounds of antibiotics. Once the fever broke and my contractions stopped, we made arrangements to get me transfered to a different hospital so I could be under the care of my OB.
I was in the hospital for two days, and released late last night. Today we were worried that I might be in labor, so once again rushed off to the hospital for evaluation. I really don't want to deliver a baby while recovering from a kidney infection, and the baby would be over a month early.
Everything is okay and I'm happy once again to be home in my own bed and with my loving hubby, Anna and Atticus.
I will never look at pain the same again. I feel that I have been through the most painful experience of my life. I hope the infection clears up quickly, as I'm anxious to get back to normal life.
