Small Victories

Hyperemesis means that "success" is redefined.  

Before my first pregnancy, I assumed that "success" in early pregnancy meant making it through work, not killing your husband, and getting a nap every once in awhile.  

Thanks to HG, success currently looks like....

~Keeping my ketones down!  Yay!  I am no longer digesting myself!

~Keeping my weight stable

~Keeping down more than 32 ounces of liquid a day (the point at which I have to go back on home IVs)

~Successfully changing my infusion site daily

~Keeping down bland, carb-laden food

~Pooping.  Thanks, Zofran constipation!

~Possibly making it through a few days of work

So keep me in your prayers as I go back to work tomorrow!
