Hospital Visit

Ok. I can't really believe i'm posting these pictures..... I was in pain and crying so that's my excuse.
Ok so I went to get an 'Upper Scope' as the doctor kept calling it. He pretty much stuck a camera down my throat and into my stomach to check for any ulcers or anything else suspicious.
This is a picture of me before I went in. I wasn't too nervous until I asked the nurse how soon I was going to be put under because I felt a panic attack coming along and she informed me that I wasn't going to be put under!! I was going to be AWAKE! I started freaking out. But they let Alex come back and calm me down. Also, on the way to the hospital I started getting one of my "attacks" where my stomach hurts SO bad. And it just kept getting worse. It was kinda good though because the doctor got to see me during it and could see how much it hurt.
The IV
After the operation they gave me some juice and an english muffin because I had to fast for 8 hours so I hadn't eaten for like 10 hours at this point.This is such an embarassing picture.... but I was having another attack or pain whatever you want to call it right after the operation. The doctor came in and told me he didn't find ANYTHING. So he had me do a CT Scan and we got the results the next day I think it was and it showed an ulcer on my liver and thats it. And an ulcer on my liver wouldn't be causing internal bleeding or these pains! I was so frustrated! And also the same day we got the results (The day after the upper scope and CT) I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth out! Talk about pain. And I'm still not eating solid food. And if I do I swallow it whole. It sucks!

The night before we left Mikey followed shane downstairs and Shane went into the bathroom and shut the door and Mikey stood outside whining so Shane let him in! So cute.

Christmas in Sandpoint :-)

This was my FAVORITE christmas gift from my mom. So the story.... while my dad was on his mission in the Phillipines he got some pearls and a diamond. He brought them back in the bottom of his shoe and he eventually put the diamond in a ring (my mom's engagement ring) and Heidi got that when she got married. Well my mom has had these 3 black pearls and 1 white pearl and so this Christmas she decided to put the pearls into necklaces for my sisters and I and I love it!
