The FDA released a recall on Heparin flushes. Of course my lot # was part of the bad batch. The FDA did a voluntary recall due to the possibility of dirty water. Since I have been having the chest pains and pain in my arm, I wanted to play it safe and get checked out.
We arrive at the ER around 6pm. I tell them what is going on and luckily i brought a bad heparin shot with me. He confirmed that YES it was bad... not that I was doubting myself anyways. They did an EKG, CT with radiation, ultrasound of my arm and chest Blood-work and Cultures. After they had ran my CT with radiation they sent me back to my room to have a very lengthy ultrasound done. During the ultrasound the CT tech came in and was telling me about the amount of radiation they ha given me and that it was a low dose... he is telling me this because he said my pregnancy test came back positive! WHAT?! Matt and I have been trying for 3 years to have a child. Doctors have told me that there is no hopes of that ever happening. They said that if I took a shot called Lupron that it MAY help but no promises. So ive been taking the lupron shot for 2 months. They stressed to me how fatel it would be if for whatever reason I DID become pregnant while taking Lupron. So of course when they said I was pregnant I had fixed feelings. I didnt know what to think. A child is something that I want to badly. I want to be a mother and I know that I will be a damn good one.. and here i am finally pregnant but could be a horrific thing.
So Im freaking out in my head for thirty mins while im still getting my ultrasound done. Im not saying anything because of the nurse is still in the room. She had my bed tured about and I couldnt even see Matts face. He wasnt saying anything and I had NO IDEA what he could of been thinking. After about thirty mins of this a nurse walks in and said they got my bloodwork mixed up and that I wasn't pregnant. Although I have very relieved I am also kinda sad. Its a weird thing to feel that something Ive wanted for so long was about to happen.. even tho it could of turned out bad.. and then to be told "oh no, nevermind." is kinda heart breaking.
I know that God hasnt given me a child yet because of the current battles i face.. but its no fun to be toyed with.
As for any infection caused by the heparin... i will know more tomorrow.
Hope all is well and blessed, Kris
