It's been a long time since I posted. Things have been craaaazzeee!
I felt increasingly worse as the week progressed, and finally Saturday evening, was shaking like crazy, my heart was pounding wildly and hurt, and I could breath very well. I assumed rest would knock it, but I felt just as gross the next morning. As we were getting ready for church, I had to keep sitting down, and it wasn't helping. Lincoln said I looked like I was going into shock and insisted we go the hospital. So off to the ER again. How embarrassing. Anyway, when I told them it felt like I was going to throw up my heart, they felt it was my esophagus spasming and gave me an IV that made me "float" for several hours. The esophagus is right on top of the heart and even though I felt no heartburn, they were convinced that was why my heart was freaking out. Whatever. I got some sleep out of it. They did do an EKG and blood work to make sure it wasn't the other possibilities. They monitored the baby closely. He was definitely stressed at first, but as soon as they got me all drugged up, he calmed down too.
I tested within normal ranges for breathing on the sleep test, but clearly have some "movement issues." Only one time did I stop breathing, and they felt I was still okay. So in other words, my body, particularly my legs jerk like mad. As they asked more questions about my last trimester in pregnancy, they feel I do have breathing apnea at that time, and really want to treat me for it. But of course, there are insurance issues. So we will see what happens with that.
The ultrasound is tomorrow, so I'll be posting the results of that tomorrow evening, hopefully.
