LONG day

At 9:30 Wednesday night I started feeling really nauseous. I very rarely throw up so I thought it was odd when I did at 10:00, but figured it was a one time thing. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. I spent the whole night throwing up every 15 to 30 minutes. I knew that I couldn't go to work or take care of Ella so at 5:45 I started texting and making some calls. My mom came up at a quarter to 7 and gave me some Finnegren and took care of Ella until Yolanda could come get her. At about 1:30 I figured that I should try to shower. That wasn't a good idea. Standing made me throw up. My mom told me I needed to call the doctor to see if they could prescribe me something. The nurse said I needed to find someone to get me to the Instacare right away. My mom got off work and Yolanda brought Ella back. We finally got to the Instacare at 4:15 and I was feeling miserable. They looked at a few things and decided that I needed an IV because I was so dehydrated. They also gave me some Zofran for the nausea. After all of that I was feeling a ton better, but they wanted a urine sample before letting me go. The urinalysis showed traces of sugar so they checked my blood sugar and saw that it was ridiculously high- 331. They were worried that I had diabetes and that all of my throwing up was my body's reaction. I was told to go to the ER right away to get it checked out. We put Ella to bed at my parent's house right after leaving at 7 and then headed to the ER. My blood sugar was down to 107 when I checked in, but they still wanted to do more blood work. I didn't get back to see the ER doctor until 9 pm. He wanted me to get another IV and more blood work. After 3 hours, so at midnight, the doctor told me everything looked good and that I just had a virus. He prescribed me Zofran and told me to stay hydrated. I was able to sleep through the night (well the 6 hours Ella let me sleep) and am feeling much better today which is a good thing since Gustavo comes home TONIGHT! I love teaching PE, but maybe teaching all the kids is exposing me to way too many germs. I have never been so sick in my entire life. Today is my 8th sick day since school began in August.
