After 5 trips to the ER, 1 ambulance visit and 2 weeks of hospital stays, I finally got a Picc-line put in!! This really helped me with my last pregnancy and hopefully it will again, it allows me to have the I.V. fluids I need --at home, in the comfort of my own bed!!!
Thats right, no more hospital beds for me! Yes, as fun as it is that the hospital beds move up and down with the press of a button, there are many things that I will NOT miss....
...the constant smell of purell and rubbing alcohol lingering in the air, loud crazy roomates seperated by a sheet on hooks, nurses waking me up 5 times every night to take my blood pressure, oversized backless robes, beeping machines, needles for bloodwork, early morning ultrasounds, unplugging 100 cords to get up and use the restroom, hospital food, little mini beverages, new nurses changing everytime I get their names down, t.v.'s that go through every channel before they turn off, "no babies allowed to visit" rules, hours of loneliness and bordedom, hours of waiting for a Dr. to call back, "Good nights" and "Good mornings" with Andrew over the phone, sponge bathing, wheelchair rides...okay, I might miss that one....but you get my point.
I am so happy to be home!

Hi honey,
I am so happy for your pic line.
You are in multiple daily prayers at our house.
Glad you have a sense of humor still.
Wow Stace! What a trooper!
Is this all due to the fact that you get so sick during your pregnancies?... no fun! I had to laugh when I read all the things you won't miss in the hospital because I am one of those annoying nurses that has to wake you up in the middle of the night to take your BP, poke you lots of times with needles (though I like to think that I am good at IV starts!), serve you nasty hospital food, etc. lol. Hope you are doing better. Gosh, if I had to endure all that, I might not be having any more kiddos...you are a good sport!
Holy Crap!! Thank goodness for the pic line!!
