Wednesday afternoon, Judy called and asked me where I was. I told her I was just pulling into home. She said "Go to Niki's" and went on to explain that Niki is having a bad migraine and needed my help.
When I was part way there Niki called me. She was bawling, the pain and upset stomach was so bad. She said she wanted me to take her to the InstaCare that is attached to the Riverton Hospital.
When I walked into her house she was throwing up in the toilet.
She got in my van and off we went; not fast enough for her I'm sure.
Because she is eight weeks along, there wasn't a whole they could do. They gave her an IV and injected it with something to stop the nausea. They put on oxygen, they said it should help her relax. They said that after the nausea medicine was working they would give her some Tylenol.
The IV made her cold. They were out of blankets so they covered her with two sheets. That wasn't good enough so they put on two more. Finally they got two heated sheets, placed them next to her body and Greg and I put the other four on top of them.
Greg was voice in giving her a blessing and she stopped shaking immediately.
When we were driving to the hospital, she was bawling and thrashing her arms about.
Greg called me before he arrived to check up on her. Alexa was in the background yelling, "Grandpa, it's my birthday, Grandpa, it's my birthday, Grandpa, it's my birthday."
She didn't understand the severity of the situation.
Lynn, Greg's mother met him at the hospital and took the kids home with her.
After Niki was calm and relaxed, she and Greg sent me home.
