SO SCARY!!

The night of September 28th i got home from work and was feeling super sick...i finally went to bed that night but woke up about 1 am to the worst pain in my Kidney.  I was bawling & shaking.  Zack called my OBGYN and told her what was going on.  She told us to head to the emergency room.  They told us i was experiencing a really bad kidney infection that may be into my bloodstream.  They drew tons of blood, hooked me up to IVs and ran tests.  They took my blood pressure when was laying down, sitting up, and standing.  Laying down & standing it was low but once i stood up it went to 60/50 & my heart rate jumped to 137.  So pretty much i was in bad bad shape.  They freaked out & moved me upstairs to the ICU( intensive care Unit)  They told Zack that my condition looked like Sepsis which is when your blood gets poisoned.  They told us it was very serious, me & the Baby could not make it if it got worse.  Zack looked online & read more info and was crying so hard.  He was so scared.  We called my mom and her and my sister flew from Oregon to be with me.  Zack gave me a comforting blessing that Baby and I would make it through this.  Zack's dad Jerry also gave me a blessing reassuring our survival through this.  Luckily the doctors caught it in time and they were able to stabilize me & baby.  I stayed in the hospital another 2 nights to make sure everything was okay. Then i was able to go home & recover. It was the scariest thing i have been through physically.  Zack was beyond amazing through it all.  He took work off & never left my side.  He is such a blessing in my life. i love him more than anything.  My mom & sister also helped so so much.  My mom is the best nurturer & made sure the doctors took great care if me.  Her & Karissa cleaned my house, got us tons of groceries.  They are so amazing. I love them , and am so thankful for all they did.  I was also so blessed to have amazing friends & other family who prayed, put my name on the temple prayer list, came & visited, brought us food.  Thank you thank you!!!!
