Recap of last weekend

This is copied from my post on the HER network, b/c I didn't want to have to type it all over again.

I am due Dec. 2nd. The vomitting started last Wednesday, just before I hit 6 weeks. On Saturday, I started vomitting up the bile, and I couldn't stop it. I went into the ER, and they admitted me with moderate ketones. Saturday night, right after they started me on my 4th bag of fluids, I started coughing so hard I couldn't breathe! I was sweating profusely, and I couldn't stop coughing. I was scared, my nurse was scared, and things started happening fast. A stat EKG was ordered, a chest x-ray, and lots of labs, too. Long story short, my heart and lungs are fine, but they said I developed "wet lungs" from getting too much fluids too fast. Funny thing is, the next day at noon, my ketones were measured, and they were still at moderate. Something doesn't seem to add up there. I was discharged Monday morning after not being able to eat or drink anything Monday, and still throwing up. But, I had been able to keep down a little supper Sunday night, and my pee was starting to look more normal.

My doctor said that because of the state of my veins, next time they will probably put a PICC line in. Goodness, I begged my last doc for one, and he refused! So glad my new doc seems to get it better.
