Of course I am late at posting pictures, but for any of you that have talked to me lately, you will know that I spent Hudson's first birthday in Beaufort Memorial Hospital for my third surgery. I woke Tuesday morning with a horrible pain in my back that radiated to my front. I woke Jeremy and called my mother immediately. My mom came over and took me to the ER where I found out that I had a HUGE kidney stone that was blocking my kidney. My kidney was three times the size it should be with lots of bacteria present. They did the first surgery that morning and placed
stint #1 in my kidney. I went home and returned the following morning due to the fact that I was in
SO much pain and running a fever. I was admitted and another
stint was put into my kidney on Thursday. This
stint was supposed to be less bothersome but didn't prove to do the trick. I stayed in the hospital on IV morphine for the rest of the week. On Hudson's first birthday my kidney stone was blasted into lots of tiny pieces and my
stint was removed. I came home just in time to watch Hudson eat his cake and sing him a few tunes. We of course had to cancel his party, but I think that it upset me more than it did Hudson.
I think it is safe to say that Hudson loved his first taste of birthday cake, and all of the presents that he
received.
Jeremy and I still cannot believe that it has been a year already. It seems like just yesterday that we found out that we were pregnant. This last year has brought so much joy to the both of us. We truly do not know what our lives were like before Hudson. He has made everyday so precious and worthwhile. His smile definitely makes any bad day we may be having better!! Thank you Hudson for this past year and all that you have done for not only us, but your grandparents, cousins, friends, and family. You have brightened the lives of everyone that you meet and we all can't wait to be there with you while you grow and change. We love you!!!!!!!!
