Well, after fighting a "cold" for the last two months....the Hospital.
Last Friday while trying to hang up the clothes we got from the baby shower I called for my husband and then passed out. After finally getting me to come to, I had a horrible coughing fit and then for the next half hour could not get my breath...at all. I couldn't breathe. My husband rushed me to the ER where after running a huge number of tests they picked up multi-lobal pneumonia in my right lung thanks to a CT scan.
I have spent the last 5 days in the hospital on IVs and anti-biotics. I am home now but will continue an antibiotic regimen for the next 2 weeks. I am on "restricted activity" throughout the rest of my pregnancy. I am lucky enough to have my mom here staying with us for the next 2 weeks to help me get back on my feet a little bit.
It's likely I have had the pneumonia since early December after a bout of bronchitis at the end of November. This explains a LOT. I have been struggling so much the last two months - and now I know why.
I came home yesterday which was nice - as it was my 34th birthday. I will say that there are worse places I could have been. I stayed in bed, ate two meals in bed and the nurses brought me the cutest cupcake! It will probably take me a while to catch up, so my posts will probably continue to be sporadic, but hopefully not as bad as it has been.
