First injection out of the way 11/14/08

[springsjournal]

I took my first injection last night. Doctor's appt was supposed to be 9:00am but they had to push it to 1:00pm due the Schering not having the med there on time. Meds came in at 10:30am. I took my first injection at 2:30pm and my 3 pills of Riba. I take one injection per week and 3 pills twice a day. That is for the first 8 weeks. Then they will

So very proud of you!
I remember my first day of the treatment..ohdeargod, I thought I was dying. I had done my injection at the hospital, which was almost 3 hours from where I lived and drove home. I met my mentor teacher (I was doing my student teaching...that lasted about 1 month before I had to quit and move home because of how sick I got) and she immediately told me to go home. I got home and had 104 temp. Shaking, nauseated, pale, crying, sweating yet shivering...the works. Called my doctor who talked me down from my panic and allowed me to take some Ibruprofen. It was the longest 24 hours of my life -next to the miscarriages...THOSE are the longest days in my life, by far.

Thanks for all of your love and support over the last few days. Losing a child, no matter when, is hard.

Thanks for your support too. Yes losing a child of any age is the hardest thing we will ever face. Your babies are safe in God's arms. Someday you will meet them. I know that doesn't help now.... they live though not here on this earth. My heart breaks for you. I'll bet since we are connected that Josh knows that and has met your babies or will soon. They have all of eternity to meet and talk about their mom's here on earth. We will be with them someday soon.

I know this is so hard for you and your family.
