Vacation and ER

This past week we went on vacation to Georgia to visit Heather and her family. It was the first time that they would meet Matthew and Matthew would meet all of them. It was also the first time David and I would meet our niece Isabella. We had a wonderful time! It was great to see all the cousins together. Isabella is adorable with her big blue eyes and Ramsey Michael was full of questions! He is a very smart little boy! Matthew seemed to enjoy it all! He did really good on the drive up there and back. He even did great at the hotel.. which I was worried about thinking he would get fussy but he didn't! He even had his first time in the pool! It was great. We lathered him up really good with sunscreen and he had his onesie, hat and borrowed swimming trunks from Ramsey Michael. He looked so cute and seemed to really like it! He did grow tired of it once he got hungry so he ate and took a nap! WE took some photos of the cousins together so that was good. It was funny trying to get all of them to look at the camera at the same time! Overall we had a a great trip and can't wait to visit again!

On the way home, however, my chest started hurting. We thought it was just gas and it got better once we got home. But around 9pm it started hurting again.. and it just got worse. SO bad that I finally gave in and told David to take me to the hospital. SO he bundled up Matthew and we drove to the ER here in Zephyrhills.. what a disgusting hospital.. needless to say I will not be considering this hospital to have my next baby in.. We will drive across town again to deliver the next one!! Anyways, we got there at around 11:30 and left there at 5:30am.. thank goodness Matthew slept through the whole thing.. except when he woke up to change the diaper but other than that he was sleeping. As for me they gave me an EKG and the heart is fine. They took blood and that was fine... they did a chest X-ray and they found that the lining of my lung is inflamed... usually a bacteria, pneumonia or a virus can cause it but I have neither.. so the doctor said that sometime it just happens.. there really is no explanation. But she gave me tons of medicines to take to take the inflammation down and no salt, caffeine or chocolate for the next 3 days. I have to go see the doctor again for a check up so I will be doing that sometime soon. I feel fine now.. it doesn't hurt as much as it did before. I can breathe without hurting so the meds must be working. So there is our vacation and ER story!
