The longest day of my life

I have had fmla all week because my husband had surgery on his jaw on monday. It was the longest day I have ever had. The day before was my birthday and he made me a cake and we just hung out at the house. But then that night I couldn't sleep worrying of what was to come the next day. We had to be at the hospital at 6 am. When we got there they set him up in a room in outpatient. We sat in there for awhile mean while dad was waiting in the waiting room. They started the drugs to dope him up. He was so scared. And so was I. The drugs made him act crazy. But I tried to be strong for him. I held his hand and kissed him goodbye when they came for him. I didn't want to let him go. They took me upstairs to the 3rd floor to his room to wait. It was about 8 by then. The nurse told me they would call me with updates during the surgery. So there I was me and dad waiting for what seemed like forever. The first call I got was at 9:30 when they put him under. They said they where going to start and they would call me back in an hour. Then about an hr later. They called and said all was going well and that they where almost finished. They told me the Dr would be calling me soon to tell me how everything went. So me and dad waited. Watching TV and cat napping. Finally Dr rickman came in about 11:40 to let me know that Greg was in recovery. That he did great and that he was going to be fine. He said that he would be in there for a few hrs until he woke up. So dad decided we needed to go take a break and get something to eat while he was there. We went to windy's and then krogers. I wanted to get him some flowers and a bolloon. When we got back there was no sign of Greg yet. I was so worried. It was about 1:30 before they brought him in. They rolled him in on that bed and he was all bandaged up. With a breathing mask on. And icepackes on his head. He looked so.. Well I didn't expect him to look like that. And standing out in the hallway with dad I felt so helpless. They moved him to his bed and got him all set up. He opened his eyes and saw me standing there and lifted his hand and did the I love you sign. Then he looked at dad and did the peace sign. I couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't talk for awhile so I had to get some paper and a pin for him. At one point he told me he was hurting that he needed drugs. So I called the nurse and got some for him. Dad left after awhile and said he would be back with mom later to bring me some food. Debbie, Darlene, Hob, Andy, Holly, Craig, and Cam came to see him that night. And it was nice to see people. I don't think I got any sleep that night. everytime he would move I'd jump up to see if he was ok. I had to help him to the bathroom and he got sick a few times. It was so hard to see him like that. My strong man did so well though. The next morning I was exhausted. The Dr came in at 5:30 and took all the bandages off. Greg was so relieved to have all that stuff off his head. He told us that Greg could go as soon as he ate a few meals. So at about 10 holly came to relieve me for an hr or so So I could come home and take a shower and change clothes. Which it was a good thing I did. Cause the house was freezing. I turned all the heaters up and rushed back to be by gregs side. Dad finished baby sitting about noon and came back so he could help me get Greg home. Finally at about 2 they let him get ready to go home. They took out the iv and I helped him get dressed. We had to stop by the Dr office on the was home so he could have a xray. And I sent dad after the drugs. I got Greg home and he went to bed. After dad got there with the drugs I sent him for some food that we needed.
Greg has been doing very well this week. He is still swollen but he is in good spirits. He has been talking more and picking at me as usual. I've been spoiling him rotten.
Mom and dad went with me to another ultrasound yesterday. Dad was so excited to see Madison for the first time. She is perfect. Just the right size 12 oz.
well I need to eat before this kid gets mad and starts kicking me.. LOL love jen

My trip to the ER!!

I started hurting at work yesterday and was scared something was wrong with the baby. So I left work after laying in Medical for an hour. I called my brother to come get me. I was so scared. He rushed to get me and him and holly took me to the Jackson clinic. They did a urine test and didn't find anything. So they told me there was nothing they could do to go to the ER. So we went. I called my hubby on route. He was so worried about me and the baby. I got there and they took me back. Me and holly waited forever. After an ultrasound, blood test, and an exam they finally said that it was strained ligaments. To go home and get some rest and put heat on it. I called my Dr today and they scheduled me for tomorrow morning. The baby is fine. I just home tomorrow they don't find something else wrong with me. Well I'm hurting right now so I need to lay down. This weekend is my birthday. What a way to spend it huh! :(
