Well im finally home after spending almost 2 days in the hospital. Its freaky too. On thursay night, I went to bed at like 11 pm and woke up at like 330 am to use the bathroom and my right arm was kinda numb and hurt a lil I thought it was cuz I slept on it but then the pain continued and I couldnt sleep. I was biting my pillow crying then finally at like 445 am I drove to the hospital. To make a long story short, they admitted me cuz im preggy and my white blood cell count was high showing signs of infection so they kept me over night on an i.V giving me antibiotics to protect the baby they wanted to prevent anything from getting to him. This is the weird thing..... The reason I had the infection and pain was from a spider bite on the right arm that was causing me pain. And then they diagnosed me with cellulitice. Isnt that bizarre? Im glad me and the baby r okay but boy I wont 4get the pain I had. They even gave me a small dose of morphine when I first got there cuz it was so bad. Anyway just wanted to share. ~ erica

Im not too sure on what it is exactly myself. I need to do more research online. But they said where its like a skin infection and then it goes to your blood in which my case it got into my blood so they put me on the i.V. So the baby wouldnt be too affected. You look it up too for me lol. It is scary as h e l l . I need to get some sleep though. Im exhausted. So ill be on 2morrow. Btw jordan what a bummer about havin to get a c-section. You get the easy way out lol but you'll have a rough recovery. I heard they can be pretty painful. Do you have any help for like the first 2 weeks? When my aunt had her baby , I stayed for like a week cuz she was in alot of pain and on pain medication for having a c-section. She had placenta previa. So she needed lots of help with her lil boy. Take care. Ttyl. ~ erica.
