Feeling Sick

So yesterday morning around 6 I was at work getting things ready for the next shift and my stomach starts hurting. It felt like I had air bubbles in my stomach but I was thinking they would just go away eventually. So I leave work and on the way home it kept coming and going and started feeling worse every time. When I get home I told Alex about how my stomach had been hurting for a while. I just tried to go to sleep but I couldn't because of the pain coming and going. So Alex decided to go get me some medicine (Gas-X lol) to see if it would help. So he comes back and I had almost fallen asleep, but I take one of the pills. I think I was sleeping for maybe two hours and I woke up again with the same pain. I think it was there the whole time I was sleeping, but I was so tired that I just slept through it. So the Gas-X was not helping at all...in fact I was feeling worse and even started feeling nauseous. Oh and Alex's mom and grandpa were on their way over to visit so I was really hoping this would go away before they got there because we were all going to go out to lunch. Alex went and got a thermometer and a sprite for me (he was so sweet :) ) and when he got back we checked my temperature, but no temp. I started drinking the sprite and then I was really feeling sick and actually threw up...then I felt better lol but the pain was still there. I asked Alex to give me a blessing because I was started to get a little scared...I had no idea what I had and my mom was thinking maybe appendicitis. I ended up throwing up two more times and the pain was just horrible. We called the doctor and they said to bring me in. So Alex's family gets to our apartment and I was actually started to feel a little bit better then. Then the nasea came back really bad. My mom came over and we decided to go to the doctor. So Alex and his grandpa gave me another blessing that the doctor would be able to figure out what was wrong. Alex went out to lunch with his family (because they had driven 3 hours to see us) and my mom and brother went with me to the doctor. The weird thing was right when I got in the car I felt a ton better and the whole way to the doctor I never felt any pain and never got sick. Then we got to the doctor and I told him the whole story. He checked everything out and said everything looked okay. He presribed me something for nausea in case it came back and said if it gets really bad again to go to the ER or come back to him so they can do some tests. He thought maybe it was just a stomach flu or something, but I know for sure that it was not a stomach flu. But I know it was because of the power of the priesthood that I got better so quickly. I am so grateful that Alex has that authority and that he honors his priesthood. Who knows...I probably would have ended up in the hospital if it weren't for those blessings. I am so grateful that I have this gospel in my life. It has blessed us in so many ways. :)
