Back and Forth...

I kept going back and forth about whether I should cancel my doctors appointment or not. Finally I decided no, I'm just gonna go and if it's for nothing at least I know what's going on. I didn't want to wait all weekend and then still end up having to go in on Monday. The doctor I saw examined me and then explained that even though the ultra-sound is showing my uterus as clean there has to be even the smallest piece of something still remaining in there for my body to still be bleeding. He told me the nurse would call and schedule an appointment for a d&e (they will go into my uterus and suction it out making sure there's nothing left in it). The doctor told me it's a minimally painful experience and that he's never had anyone get an infection or other problems from the procedure.I know what he told me, but I have to admit any invasive procedure makes me a little nervous. The nurse called me about an hour after we left the doctors office and wanted to schedule the procedure for Monday at 7 a.m. I was really nervous about Jakob and what I was going to do with him. Jeremy said he would just keep him out there with him. I knew he'd be cranky and tired because we will have to leave my house by 6 to get to the office right at seven. I don't know how I'll feel after the procedure is done, whether I'll wake up easily from the anesthesia or whether I will cramp badly or not so having Jakob around meant Jeremy's job would be harder. Jeremy's mom called me later in the day and told me she was going to come down and stay with Jakob. She's on her way here right now. I cannot even begin to explain what her coming means to me. I know that this is not supposed to be a big deal, but it is kinda big to me, and not having to worry about Jakob while it's all going on is such a blessing. He can sleep in his own bed and he probably will just be getting up and around when we get home. Also just having the support for both me and Jeremy is so awesome. He doesn't talk about it much but I know he's been stressing about everything going on with my health. I am so thankful for a mother-in-law who is so kind and considerate. She doesn't treat me like her sons wife, she treats me like her own daughter. I know a lot of people who don't have that same relationship with their M-I-L's. 

Friday night Jakob was up a lot crying. I put him in bed with us and he still kept waking up crying which is when I decided he probably has an ear infection. Saturday morning Jeremy took Jakob to the Urgent Care Clinic in our town (it just recently opened, thank the Lord!) and they said Jakob has a double ear infection! He has been such a good little guy considering he has pain in both of his ears. This may explain why he hasn't wanted to take a nap the last couple of days. He just plays in his room for a couple hours. Anyways, he's on an anti-biotic and I'm giving him a decongestant at night and he slept very well last night. I'll let y'all know how everything goes tomorrow and hopefully I can finally say I'm all better! 

Oh, and thank-you all for the support and prayers. It truly means more than you can ever imagine!
