A quick update and thank you.

amberrrjade · November 2013

I am really very touched by all the nice and supportive messages that were left for while I was away. Thank you @dnt27 (the best labor buddy) for keeping the board updated on me and keeping up with me and all the text-versations while I was hospital jailed.

What happened was somehow Marlena had blocked my right ureter (which flow urine from kidney to bladder) and my kidney filled with urine. (To those who think we are doctors, take this as a warning, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON IN YOUR BODY AND SHOULD ALWAYS CALL YOUR DOCTOR, everyone thought I was having back labor at first even the nurses). It was extremely painful and they almost gave me an emergency c-section because they thought the cyst I have on my right side had burst thankfully an MRI showed an emergency c-section would not be necessary and she could cook longer. The next day they assembled a urology surgery team and did surgery to add a nephrostomy tube to my right kidney. I will have the tube and bag until Marlena's arrival, which will hopefully be very soon. I will now be having a scheduled c-section after 39 weeks. Marlena was incredibly strong throughout the entire situation, she never fell in heartbeat or movement, she's going to be a very strong little lady and I can not wait to have her in my arms even if she broke my kidney.

I was released from the hospital on Wednesday evening and have been resting at home. So, I'm also officially on leave from work, really a double edged sword.

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone for my Best GIF and Biggest Ass Kisser wins! I couldn't have done it without you and you all are winners in my big kissy heart! I'm just sorry I didn't get the chance to vote myself!

To put it best:
