Today was crazy! Because of student led conferences, Audrey had today off from school. Mariska & Audrey decided to visit their old school, Orchard Prairie. They had a fun time seeing their teachers. Here is Audrey & Mariska with their Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. S.
Later that afternoon we received a call from the new owners. They wanted to know if we could stop by and show things like where the sprinkler lines were and other house related questions that John would know since he did the work. Their voicemail said "We absolutely love the house and are so excited. We are honored and privileged to be moving in to it. Thank you very much for choosing us to be the ones to move in. We are really, really happy." And you know what? They were just as sweet and nice and gracious when we met them. Yeah! Someone who will love the Lacey House!
On our way home, we stopped by my mom's house. Audrey & Mariska were going to spend the night. Audrey pulled me aside and said she was not feeling well. Her stomach was hurting and she was pale. We decided to take her home. Maybe a mile down the road she started getting much worse. We stopped by the Urgent Care Center but they had closed, so we kept going straight to the Emergency Room. We checked in at 8:30pm. Audrey was cold, clammy, breathing very shallow and in a ton of pain. They took her back and tried to take some blood samples. I watched and had never seen anything like it. She was so stressed from the pain that her blood literally would not pour into the tube. The nurse was pressing the vein trying to push blood into the tube and it would very slowly drip. Looked like it was in slow motion. She finally said they would have to work with the sample they got because she was not getting any more. She had to put an IV into these same veins, so it was pretty painful. Audrey was trying to be brave but as soon as they put the IV in she turned to the nurse and said "WHAT are you doing to me?" After awhile they wheeled her in for scans & then returned us to her room. The doctor came back and said "We know what is wrong with you" and went on to say she had a cyst on her left ovary that had burst. No wonder she was in so much pain! During our 4 hour hospital visit, I did ask Audrey if I could take a picture (always thinking about scrapping) since I had the camera in the car. She was on morphine and said no. Come to find out later, she just did not want me to leave the room and would have been fine having John go get the camera. I did sneak and take a picture of her the next day when she was sleeping. She slept pretty much the entire day and was pretty wiped out from her ordeal.
