Oh, thank you so much for all the prayers and support! After spending the night in the hospital, we were greatly relieved to learn that I did NOT have a blood clot in my leg. They did a lengthy ultra sound and also did tests on my chest to be sure I was clot free. They monitored the baby as well, and we were greatly relieved to see he/she is doing VERY well. I was cramping a lot, as I have been this past week, but the baby was doing just fine.
We are still trying to figure out what is the matter with my leg. I can barely walk on it and am having terrible pain. The doctor ordered me on rest for the next few days to see if it improves. There is the possibility that I pulled something or injured it in some way without realizing it and it just needs time to heal. I do have a vein that is popping out on that side (never had that before on this particular leg) and it is VERY tender. I am hoping it does get better and we arent looking at some sort of infection. I have had a low grade fever, but nothing too alarming. My doctor is back from being out of town, so I will be able to consult further with him.
I will try to keep updated here or have my mom update for me. I have to get to the couch, which is where we will be doing school from today J. We have been blessed with much love and support already! A friend came last night and cared for the children. When I arrived home the children met me and told me they wanted the house to be spic and span for me before I arrived home
and it certainly was! I was so blessed!
Again, I so appreciate the prayers here. It was so very scarey, yet I felt covered.
