Rolling Stones!

Well, today was one of the craziest days we have had in a long time. Yesterday we stayed home from church because Z and I were feeling like we were coming down with something. Kevin took care of us while we laid on the couch most of the day. This morning I woke up, got out of bed and instantly doubled over. I was in so much pain I could not stand up straight. What do we do? We call my mom (AKA the best nurse ever). She says that it could be a number of things but it would be best to go to the ER. I tried to talk myself out of going to the ER because it would be a total pain to everyone but as much as I tried to talk myself out of it, my body kept screaming you need help. So Kevin canceled patients until 2:00 (thanks honey), my dad came out ASAP to watch Z until he needed to leave for work, and my mom came to our house at noon to relieve my dad and eventually take care of me.

After 7 hours in the emergency room, one CT scan, an IV, pelvic exam, a catheter, and a ultrasound they discovered I had two of the most painful problems one could have. I passed a kidney stone on the right side. I have another kidney stone on the left side waiting to be passed. I also ruptured a large ovarian cyst on my right ovary, and I have another even larger cyst on the same ovary. OUCH! My ER doctor was shocked that I had all that going on at once. He said he has never seen a patient like me ever! Great I made ER history.

Anyways I was sent home with two pain meds and an antibiotic to fight the infection the ruptured cyst released into my abdominal area. So I am on the mend. I wanted to send a loud SHOUT OUT to my mom, dad, and Kevin for totally rearranging their day to care for me and Zachary. I love you guys to pieces. I also must say that I am so relieved that I do not need surgery at this time for either of these problems. I could be a lot worse! Please keep the prayers coming!
