So all week Jon had been making comments about his leg hurting. On wednesday he really was complaining about it. I had no idea why it was hurting, but I just sort of chalked it up to some sort of muscle ache/pain. On thursday he woke me up out of a deep sleep early in the morning saying "call your mom." (since my mom is a nurse). He tells me that he just got this fear and started googling blod clots on the internet. And he said he had all the symptoms of a blod clot. I was like oh yeah right, you dont have a blood clot, stop being dramatic. I called my mom and she also was like, he's too young, and too healthy. We thought maybe his leg is hurting from riding his motorcycle. He called his mom, who is also a nurse, and she also didnt think it was an urgent matter. So I brushed it off, and went into work. Before I leave for work he tells me he is going to go in and see his doctor. So he calls me while Im at work and says the doctor did a doppler reading, and they are sending him to the hospital to get checked out because sure enough he has a blood clot. How the heck did he predict that he had a blood clot. I still don't get it. Of course Im at work when I find all this out, so Im all worried, and anxious, and want to be with him, but I can't leave work. So Im sitting there at work, just worried about all the worst things that this could turn into. Luckily work let me go early, and I went to Good Sam ER where he was still waiting after a long time to be seen. Finally the doc sees him and says he is going to be admitted to the hospital, to do tests, and be on a cumadin IV. They couldnt tell me if he was going to be there a few hours, or days. So today (friday), I still had to go to work, and he was there in the hospital all day. I stressed so much, and felt so guilty that I wasnt by his side. I didnt sleep all night long. I noticed at one point that I was starting to get cramps in my belly, and started to freak out a bit and had to will myself to calm down so my stress didnt hurt the baby. It is crazy how you worry so much about someone that is your whole world..someone you love soo much. Finally when I got off work at 4, I went to visit him at the hospital, and they decided they were gonna discharge him. Basically, in short, Jon had a blood clot in his upper thigh. Who knows how the heck he got it. Its not a very common thing for someone of his age and health, so thats why it was so wierd and worrisome. He has to follow up at a cumadin clinic to get shots of blood thinners for a few days and monitor the clot. He will have to be on blood thinners for a few months also. Right now, now that he is home, baby and I are just pooped tired, from worrying about daddy so much. Thank you God for making him be ok, and please heal his body so that there are no further complications related to this.Baby and I are also ok, but I did learn from someone, that some of the pains, and things I was feeling in my belly were most likely braxton hicks. I didnt know what those were, but now I do, and it felt like my belly was gonna pop, because it was getting so tight. Jon worried me so much he caused me braxton hicks. JEEZ. ...Men!!
