Default more ER visits

On Wednesday I got pretty sick again and my chest started heaving and I couldn't breathe at all, so my mom took me into the hospital (DH was busybusy and tired from the past two visits). The baby's heartbeat was 150 BPM and they gave me a shot of solu medrol which helped for a couple of days and a script for Augmentin, which so far is going well (thank GOD, I was allergic to the macrobid and everythign else was dangerous for the baby). This morning I got even worse than I was on Wednesday and made another trip back to the hospital. They gave me ANOTHER solu medrol shot and a script for prednisone 20 mgs once a day for five days and a different type of breathing treatment that really seemed to have helped. Now I'm waiting it out to see if this stuff is knocked out once and for all. My lungs don't sound nearly as bad and I can walk around the drug store pretty without almost dying, so I'm pretty sure this is it. I hope that the baby's okay after the prednisone--the Dr. said it was a small enough dose to where it shouldn't harm the baby and it was agreed that the benefit outweighs the risk, considering that I haven't been able to sleep, eat, or breathe for two weeks...
