Still...

In the hospital...
Last Tuesday my fever broke only for a few hours and after going to bed I woke up at 2:30 am Wednesday morning with even more excruciating pain than the previous Sunday. Randy called Dr. Pritts and she asked if I would be able to make it to Madison. I couldn't even make it out of the bed. Randy called an ambulance and they came and took me to St. Catherine's Hospital in Kenosha. Luckily, Jaxston slept through all of the commotion and didn't have to see his mommy taken away in so much pain.
Once at the ER we went through the whole story again, got my pain under control a little and did another CT scan. The endometriomas has grown to the size of 2 softballs and 1 tennis ball. They were leaking blood and fluid, which was causing some of the pain along with them being so big and pushing on my other organs and then also the pain from the infection.
Of course there are no reproductive endocrinologists in Kenosha, so they spent the better part of the day Wednesday deciding if I would need to be transferred to another hospital or just stay in Kenosha. Ultimately, it was decided that I stay in Kenosha because no one will do any type of surgery until the infection has cooled down.
So, here we are 7 days later still in the hospital trying to get better. Fevers have been down, white blood cell count down and hopefully in the next day or two I will be able to go home again.
We had to spend Easter in the hospital, but Jaxston has been well taken care of by my parents up north so we are so thankful for that! This is the hardest thing that we have had to go through and pray that it ends soon.
Plan once we are home is to meet with surgeon and see how quickly they would be able to do surgery. Surgery would entail cleaning everything out, but hopefully be able to keep my ovaries and uterus. At this point there will also be discussions around the benefits of actually removing everything electively so that the cysts and endometriosis don't come back.
Thank you for the continued prayers!
