The most eventful week of my life....That had nothing to do with me
This has had to be the biggest week I have ever went through. A birth, a death, a wedding, a funeral, a medical emergency and several mishappenings, disputes and apologies. It's been so rough I had PIMPLES!!! For most, this is something normal, but I haven't had this problem since I was 15.Ok, Lets start with Sunday. My Cousins ( who is like a brother to me) wife went into the hospital for them to induce labor 3 months early since she was having a severely complicated pregnancy. The baby had poly cystic kidneys and under developed lungs. The kidneys are caused from one of two rare diseases, which we are still trying to find out if its genetic or not. The lungs are the doctors fault, he never checked the mother's fluid level until it was too late and it was so low the baby could no longer develop. They had no idea of the condition the baby was in and feared that if they put the birth off any longer both mother and child would die. Monday wasn't too eventful other than a lot of worrying, my dress for the wedding ( I was maid of honor) was just being started, and a horrible day at work .....So on to Tuesday. One of my friends ( we will call her j) called because she needed a babysitter terribly , since she had a lab for here social work class and ask if I could. The baby was due that day, but I was told only immediate family was to go to the hospital, so I agreed. About 10 minutes after j's son arrived, My friend who is getting married's mom calls to tell me my dress is finished and I need to try it on WOOOHOOO!!!!!!( she is THE most awesome seamstress on earth!) so me and j's baby head out to her house. When I return to my house, I get the big phone call: my cousin's wife is in labor, and my cousin wants us all there now since there is so much wrong and everyone is worried to death. So, I pack up j's baby, get my grandma, and rush to the hospital. I was in such a hurry that I forgot to put a note on my door for j so she would know where we went. I left her a ton of voicemails, but she had no cell phone, after tons of freaking out she finally got a lot of me, but we were both upset because she had a horrid day and I was in a ton of pain from carrying a 20 pound baby and a carrier(separately at the same time) around a hospital all day. So it didn't mix well. Plus the baby hadn't been born yet, so I was super stressed. I had to go to work at 5, but the girls at work were awesome! I had told them what was going on Monday night, so they asked about it when I went in and I kept my cell on so my family could keep me posted. At a little after 6 I got the news, with the whole staff standing by: the baby had lived only 15 minutes, just long enough for the mom and dad to say good bye and I love you. It died in its mothers arms. Something no one can handle, but especially not at 17 and 20. Then came Wednesday. I had to get my house ready for the luau I was having Friday night for my friends bachelorette party. Plus I also had to go into work at four. Not too bad, but I also kept seeing my cousin ( since they live across the street), and it was so hard to talk....One of those situations where you can't without crying. Thursday was all the same until I went to work. One of the girls who was a little sick the night before passed out and hit her head, she was extremely dehydrated and was not fully coherent when she gained consciousness, I had to call 911 while management called her parents, and they could not figure out where we were, I kept telling them, but they didn't understand that it wasn't a residence. The paramedic finally came and she refused treatment, I still have no idea what happened or how she is :( Now for Friday. The funeral was at 10. For me it was not just super emotional because of the nature of everything, but I was also my first funeral. Not a big deal for most people, but I am also kind of necrophobic: I am so afraid of dead bodies it is not even funny.....Animals even, let alone people. My family never let me go to funerals because I even get cropped out at cemetaries and have to know where the body is so I am not standing on it. This one really surprised me. It was held in a mausoleum/ chapel and it didn't even bother me. I was so upset that when I saw the body I was crying tears of mourning instead of tears of fear. Then I had to go from there to decorate the church for the wedding,ran errands all day. Dinner, rehearsal, then we waited outside of wal-mart for an hour for the bride and cancelled the party when half of the people left and we had a argument, followed by apologies an hour later. Wedding was the following day, and today, Sunday starts a new week.....Too bad now there is a church convention and I have to close every night at work~!~~ When will it ever end~!
