Under the Weather

I made a trip to the doctor today due to some serious discomfort and was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and prescribed an antibiotic. We got back home from the doctor and the pain became almost unbearable so we called Dr. Anunciato back before she left for the day because then our only option would be going to the emergency room. She said the antibiotic would do nothing for the pain it was just treating the infection so she gave me a prescription for loratabs to ease the pain. I'm not a big medicine taker at all and have only taken Tylenol twice since becoming pregnant and nothing else. Derek and I researched it online and prayed about it before going to get the prescription filled. I took one loratab and it eased the pain enough that I was able to lay down and sleep for about 4 hours. Our hope is that I will only have to take them today and tomorrow and then hopefully the antibiotic will start to kick the infection. I would never take medicine that I thought would harm Deacon in anyway. The pain was so intense that it was making me feel very panicy that something was bad wrong and I was becoming very stressed out and we know that isn't good for him either. I will be at home resting again tomorrow. We covet your prayers that the pain would subside and the medications would have no adverse effects on Deacon. We have 100% trust and confidence in Dr. Annunciato and believe she would never prescribe something that isn't necessary. The nurse we talked to also took these while pregnant due to kidney stones and everything turned out fine. This pregnancy has gone great so far and we look forward to getting this behind us.
