Trip to the ER

So, I've still been having pain around my right kidney. My doctors office sent me to get all these tests done. It was taking forever to get the results back though. Finally yesterday I got sick of waiting. I was in so much pain and I felt so nausous and light headed. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands, so to speak. I had my dad take me to the Emergency Room. I only had to wait in the waiting room for 5 minutes, so that was cool. Pete came down to the hospital after work. He got there like 30 minutes after I did. My mother-in-law head the news and she was right by the hospital so she came down too. So, I had a lot of support there. They gave me some pain medicine...which was so AWESOME! I felt like I was on a cloud. It was so nice to be pain-free. My dad and Sara headed home when they starting running tests. I basically did all the same tests I had done last week, but it was all done fast. And, the results we fast...which was what I wanted. I wanted answers. It turns out that I have kidney stones. The kidney stones are also backing up the fluid in my kidneys. My kidney is all swollen and inflammed. They don't know exactly where the stones are because they can't give me a CAT scan, or whatever, since I'm pregnant. So, I have to go to a Urologists and they have to try to remove them through me urethra. FUN, huh? So, they slapped me with a good old prescription and sent me home. Good times!

Me doped up on drugs

    Oh Man, I feel so bad for you! My Mother-in-Law had kidney stones and she went through a lot to get those suckers out! I'm so glad they figured out what was going on though! Smart idea to go to the ER.

    Well at the very least you know what is wrong and it is not something really scary, although it looks like the process you're gonna have to go through will not be fun. Let me know if you need some help with Bryson.

    At least you have war stories about pregnancy! I think that is the best thing about going through all of this so that when we are 50 and done we can compare all the horrible things that happened. Feel better!!

    kidney stones, OUCH! I've never been a pt. in the ER, nor have I ever had kidney stones, but I hear both are an unpleasant experience. At least they're going to try to get them out rather than just letting them pass on their own! Painful! What pain medicine did they give you? Glad it's working!

    That totally sucks. I love the pain medication though. I had to go in for an eptopic pregnancy last year, as soon as the medicine kicked in I was on cloud nine. Do what you will with me!

Bryson's Store

Image
We didn't have Family Home Evening last night, so we had it tonight. We made a little store for Bryson to sell candy from {it was his idea this morning}. He was in HEAVEN! Dad brought boxes home from work, bought candy on the way home, then came home and we all made it together. The huggies box is his cash register. And, we used fake money from one of our board games. We'd give Bryson the fake money and then he'd give us some candy. It was SO funny. He kept saying, "This is a fun activity!" {He picked this saying up from grandpa!} Here's the front of his store. Here's the back view of his store. Here's daddy buying his candy. When Bryson thought we had boughten enough candy, he told me to take his spot so he could buy some candy. He's not stupid! Here's a video clip of one of daddy's transactions with Bryson. It's so funny....you have to watch it!

Break Dancer

We went to a wedding on Thursday night. It was a Argentine wedding so they had a ton of music and dancing. Bryson was in heaven. We couldn't get him off the dance floor! I recorded this video off of my phone so the quality isn't very good {because of the low lighing in the place}. But, hopefully, you'll still get the idea. Everyone was break dancing inside a circle. I could tell Bryson wanted to go out on the floor so bad. So, I told him to go do it. And he did. That part is at the very beginning of the video. Then, he went out and danced with everyone else. He had some good moves. I couldn't get too much on video because people kept walking in front of me. But, this should be enough to make you laugh .

Bryson has been asking for a skateboard for some time. So, today we finally bought him one. He's so excited about it. It's fun watching him figure out how to work it. He said,"Mom, this is how you pick it up." Then, he stepped on one end so that it popped up the other end. He grabbed the end that was in the air, and then took a bow. It was so funny.
