The sickness prevails...
So I'm back to being bed ridden again. This time it's something to do with my GI tract. 2 days ago I had was completely normal except for my residual pink eye issues, then I had an intense wave of nausea and sharp pain in my gut. I went to lie down and then the whole body aches started so I knew my fever was coming back. Well it pretty much slopped at 101.5 but was non-responsive to Ibuprofen. I tried to go to work the next morning but nearly passed out in a room with a client and had to run to the bathroom like every 5 minutes. I had one of technicians rush me to the nearest doctor's office. They are running 7 different tests on me b/c of my chronic high fever and high white blood cell count. The doctor said that if I had an appendix I'd be going to surgery but since I've already had mine removed that made him more worried b/c of what else the cause could be. So right now we're waiting for test results and I have to go back today for a recheck. He may admit me to the hospital for a CT scan. I'm just worried that I picked up something weird in Africa, since I haven't really been normal since the day we got home. My gut pain is lessened luckily and my fever broke last night. Michael woke me up b/c I had produced enough sweat to coat our entire bed. I looked like I had taken a shower in my P.J's. I just feel guilty b/c I have had like no time with Ezra lately b/c in case this is contageous I don't want to give it to him and I have no strength. I can't even pick him up. :( Not good for a new mommy. So just keep us in your prayers that this will get figured out soon.
