Ok. Most of you already know we had a long night last night. We ended up in the ER around 12:30. I was having shooting pains going from mid-stomach straight up through my shoulder and neck on my right side. It definitely affected my breathing and created tightness in my chest. It progressively got worse. I tried to go to bed, but I quickly found laying down made things get even worse. We were debating on whether or not to call the on call nurse, but after I got a pain that made me feel like my chest was about to explode... I knew I had to get to the ER asap.

I'm not sure how much longer I can blog, so I'm going to try to make it short... They ran the whole battery of test... EKG, blood tests, xrays, ultrasound, CAT scan... The best indication was when the Dr. examined my stomach by pushing on my organs... which very quickly let him know where the pain was originating. It appeared to be a gallbladder issue, but none of the tests showed any problems there. They did find that my pancreas was inflamed which is called a pancreatitis. So... they sent me home on a bland diet with Vicodin.

We got home around 5:00 this morning and the Vicodin knocked me out enough to finally get some sleep and relief. The shooting pains have apparently subsided. But now I'm still having a lot of bloating and I get dizzy and nauseous sitting or standing up.

Its been a bit frustrating because the ER says one thing... Dr. Shamma's office says another... and I don't feel like I have any real answers. If I don't get better by tonight, I'll have to go back down to Rochester Hills to see Dr. Shamma. And if I still don't get better, they'll have to freeze the embryos and do a frozen transfer.

And I finally got the update on the fertilization. Of the 14 only 7 were mature enough. Of the 7, 6 were fertilized. It's a little low, but I'm ok with that number.

OK. I need to go lay back down, but that's the basics of whats going on. Please continue to pray. I'll blog again whenever I can.
