Gosh Charly u have really been put through the ringer lately! I hope that you can catch up on some rest, how long is your MIL around for? Maybe she can give you some more rest tomorrow?

Poor Mark too, what an ordeal. Glad to hear that he's home and feeling a bit better. Hopefully he will start to feel up to helping out a bit more, so that you don't have to keep doing it all on your own!]]> Fri, 28 Mar 2008 20:22:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15727&PID=337730&title=oh-what-a-night#337730 <![CDATA[Oh what a night... : Charly wrote:hhahah well, I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15727&PID=337654&title=oh-what-a-night#337654 Author: Maya

Aww I just saw this - that sucks! Why oh why do men do silly things like drive when they're that ill.

And yep I agree - well enough to play on computer then well enough to change a nappy.

A male friend of mine had kidney stones - and his DP was told by a doctor that passing them is the closest men get to childbirth. Hmmm probably best if you don't tell him that

Hope you get some rest today

Thanks everyone
DH is much better. No more pain, but has a shed load of painkillers, just in case.
I haven't been able to get any sleep today, unfortunately. I'm absolutely shattered.

Am trying REALLY hard not to yell at him right now, though.
The mother in me wants to go in and say "if you're not well enough to go to work, you're not well enough to play on the computer!". But that's only because I'm STILL having to look after Hannah - even though he told me, very proudly, that he's had cuddles with Hannah today. And that he misses her!

SO CHANGE HER NAPPY ONCE IN A WHILE!


Anyway.
Thanks again for your words of support!
I you all

So after my frustration at not being able to feed Hannah at night al week and DH's tummy bug, leaving me about 12 hours worth of broken sleep since Monday...
This happens:

I got Hannah down at 10:15 last night and get into bed myself. DH was still feeling pretty lousy so he was going to sit up for a little bit longer and drink some water.
Next thing I know I'm being woken up by him at 1:30.

"Charlotte! Wake up!"
"Huh? What's up??" (I'm listening to see if I'd slept through Hannah's cries - I can hear her snoring!)
"I need your help?"
(I'm thinking maybe the house was flooding again, since it had been raining)
"What's up?"
"I need to go to the hospital"
"OK! I'm up! What's wrong!!"
(meanwhile, I"m throwing pants and shoes on and grabbing nappies and stuff).
He told me he had excrutiating pain down one side and was dizzy and sweating like a pig. He had his keys in his hand and was making for the door.
I'm like, err....I need to get Hannah, hold on..."
He just said "Call Mum, look after Hannah" and took off!!

I frantically text him to tell me when he'd got there (he could barely walk - how could he drive!!).
5 mins later he text (1:45) so I called MIL, trying my hardset not to cry! She came over 10 mins later. She made us both a cuppa while we waited to hear from DH.
Finally, at 2:30 I get a text to say "I'm on morphine". So we jumped in the car and raced up there.
We get to the ED to find his car parked right out front in the 5 min parking space hehe (MIL later moved it so it didn't get towed).
We get in there and he's as pale as a sheet, talking to the doctor.
DH gives a urine sample and it's full of blood!
Kidney stones are suspected! OUCH!
He went off for an x-ray, nothing could be seen, but they don't always show up.
His blood tests all came back clear, so there's nothing sinister there.
He was hooked up to saline and he started to come right within half an hour.
By 5:30 MIL went home and said to call her if we needed anything. DH was given some oral painkillers and a script for more if the pain got worse.
He felt millions of times better after the painkillers, so at 6:15 we took off under the instructions to try the painkillers if the pain worsens and make an appointment with the GP to get a referral for a CT scan.

The doctor thinks the dehydration from the tummy bug aggravated the stones (which will have been there for a while).
More often than not they dissolve on their own, otherwise he has no choice but to pass them

Poor DH! However, now that he's better I'm allowed to say:
I'm feeling rather ripped off, because Hannah slept until 4:30, then again from 5:30 and she's still going!!!

On the plus side, MIL is coming over today to do housework and Hannah-sit while DH and I get some rest
I haven't seen DH since we got hom from hospital, but he's still sleeping, so that's a good sign

Now I just need Hannah to wake up so I can feed her and put us all back to bed
