So, yesterday was a hard day. I hadn't been feeling good for a few days and decided yesterday to go in for a bag of fluids. Easy enough-or so I thought. I was down 7 pounds and shedding keatones like crazy. When you shed keatones it means your body is breaking down muscles to live off of. Not good. I am only at 9 weeks and this normally doesn't happen until 13-15 weeks. So we tried to start a line 8 times but because I was so dehyrated my veins wouldn't hold. They sent me to the ER and before trying my foot for an entry point I convinced them into trying my forearm. Success!! We got in a line and I infused 2 bags of fluids.
Paul had to come home form work early to get the kids from school, and then helped me eat and drink some stuff last night. Nothing stayed in, but at least I tried. Today I am going to get a permanent line put in for IVs. It is hard to wrap my head around the likely hood of having to do this for an extended period of time so early on in the pregnancy. I am so grateful for the priesthood my husband holds, and for the great bleesing he gave me last night. The end will so justify the journey it takes to get there!! I am just glad to be 9 weeks into all this, only 31 weeks to go!

Oh Erin you poor thing. I feel awful for you. You are amazing to endure this. I hope you are doing better and that you will be able to get off the IV's soon. We will pray for you.
