Hospital Visits 2 and 3

Kind of another depressing post, but I thought I'd try to keep people updated on my situation... Again I'll try to make this as short as possible-
Sunday I was feeling pretty good and thought I was getting better from my diagnosis of Scarlet Fever, but late Sunday night (like 2am) I started to feel extremely cramping AGAIN and I also had extremely painful numbness and tingling throughout my entire body...So Pat drove me back to the hospital again to get checked out as I was in incredible pain once again. They checked me out and dismissed me with a shot of medicine to dull the pain I was having but weren't quit sure why I was in pain, and a bottle of magnesium citrate (plus 3 other medicines I was already on) and said I should be fine. Then less than 12 hours later, I was in much pain again with the numbness and tingling and also very weak, so Pat first took me to the Urgent Care place since it was now around 1pm and during regular office hours, but when we got there, they told us it was an hour and a half wait!! I was losing all hope of getting better and thought I would literally die from all the pain I was in before the hour and a half wait was up, so Pat rushed me to the hospital once again to be treated. We were there for a good 4-5 hours this time to make sure I was getting better and not just rushing me out the door like they had done the night before, which obviously didnt help. Anyway, that's a VERY brief version of what happened. My mom flew out from Houston on Tuesday to help out, since Pat had already missed so much work and sleep from all my late night visits and was also emotionally drained, so we decided we needed a family member here to help with both Alexa and I. I now seem to be doing better, just very tired and weak. I hope I dont have anymore relapses and I only get better from here!
I will try to write another post a little later today that's much happier, but right now I just need a nap! ;o)
