Emily feels like crap update:
Also: I went to Kaiser this morning for a weight check, in which the dr discovered I have lost 8 pounds in 7 days even AFTER Thursday’s trip to the ER.
So, to make my life more miserable (although they swear it’s to help) they have prescribed prednisone. That’s a steroid and it makes me legitimately nervous to take while pregnant. The interwebs says in can cause birth defects and all that lovely wonderful stuff.
I was aware that Prednisone was a pretty strong drug only given out for breathing disorders or cancer. So, I immediately asked “uhhhh isn’t that DANGEROUS!?” to which they replied “In this case the benefits outweigh the risks.” Translation: Your kids may be a whole lot more than retarded if you don’t take this drug. So- I’m kinda having a panic attack- but I gotta do it. Honestly, If I can’t gain weight and get better I’m not gonna be helping these little munchkins at all.
So, tomorrow: Prednisone. Yayyyy.

I didn’t realize that is what they had prescribed. I was prescribed that when I went to the ER for bronchitis. I guess it caters to a wide range of medical needs.
Let’s talk about it. Did you have any scary side effects?
things will be ok!
oh my sweet baby jebus… Why is my avatar looking so terrifying.

LOL… what IS that?!
Like I said, it only made me feel human again. I was finally able to breathe!!!
Mario: Avatar is HILARIOUS. So dark…. so edgy… so lame!
It is a very powerful drug and used for many things, take it as they tell you. I know its very important to not just stop you have to gradually stop taking it. Call Joni if you have questions
