Prayers Please! ***BABIES ARE OK!***

I am so sorry Rachael. I had a gallbladder attack on thanksgiving and was in the ER as a result. I know how painful it is. I am glad the babies are ok and I hope you feel better soon. How are they helping you with the pain? Are you on a low fat diet now? I am = ( I was told this is common with pregnancies although mine was post partum. Thinking of you.

I am definitely praying for you and the babies...you've all come so far! I'm not sure whether or not to tell you this because it's potentially pretty scary...but I'm the type of person who would rather know then get hit by a very unpleasant surprise. A little over six years ago, out of the blue, having never had a problem before, I started having very bad pain unlike anything I'd ever had before. It was my gallbladder, and almost always, gallbladder issues can be resolved later. My primary doc recommended I get it removed sooner rather than later. So, I had it removed right away, but the surgeon told me gangrene had already set in and if they hadn't removed it when they had, I would have spent the next six months of my life in a hospital battling infection and for my life. Now, I think a situation like that is very rare...I know a lot of people with gallbladder issues that never get that bad, but when we are dealing with things that are just out of the realm of what we know, I think we have to trust the doctors. They know that not only do they have your life in their hands, but your two babies, too...so even though it can be really scary, I hope you can trust in your doctors and come through this very quickly with your two beautiful and healthy babies!!

Rachael,

I am sorry to hear about your pancreatitis. Hang in there, the end is near. Your babies are doing great!! I will be keeping you in my thoughts.

They told me morphine was ok for breastfeeding and the ER dr called the pharmacist on call that night to double check. Not sure if that helps but i thought i would let you know. Looking forward to hearing about their arrival, hopefully Friday or later. Hope you are feeling better.
