A Rough Week

So this has been an interesting last couple of days. I woke up Sunday morning to go put Tess back in her bed after I had nursed her around 5:30am and I noticed that my side was really sore. I just figured it was from yard work on Saturday and laid down not thinking to much about it. Then about a half an hour later I was up throwing up and the pain just started to get worse and worse. I woke Johnny up around 6:30 and asked for a blessing. I figured it was another kidney infection so I took a pain killer and my neighbor had some cranberry tablets that I thought would help. Well it did. I just laid around Sunday and as the day progressed I was feeling better.
The next morning I woke up and was still doing alright, I was so relieved thinking that the cranberry stuff had actually worked. Man was I wrong! The pain started back up and by 9:00am I was vomitting again and in much more pain then the day before. So I had Johnny take me to Urgent Care. He floated in and out of the office waiting for his mom to get there to get the kids and take them home. I was going crazy I was in so much pain and I just kept throwing up. I scared a little scout half to death that was there for a physical, his dad made the kid go out of the waiting area. So they get me back there and put an IV in my hand I was getting dehydrated, and then they stuck two shots in my arm. One was for pain and one was for nausea. I had a really bad reaction to one of them and started having a small seizure. Needless to say that scared the urgent care facility so he called an ambulance to take me to the hospital.
So they took me to Timpanogos ER to try to see what was going on. By then the pain medicine finally kicked in, yeah!! So they started testing my blood, urine, etc. They ruled out any infection quite quickly so they thought it might be kidney stones so they had me get a CT scan and sure enough I had kidney stones. Then they did another xray to get some pictures of them. I don't know if you're familiar with kidney stone sizes but they range from 1-6mm. The one that was stuck in my urinary tract was 7mm. They also found more in my kidney's. The largest one being 10mm. So the hospital sent me home with a lot of pain killers and told me to take it easy. Yesterday morning I met with the urologist to talk about my different options to get rid of them. Today I went in and got the blasting done. The good news is that they were able to get the 7mm one and the 10mm one. They tell me I'm going to be really sore and I have to be incredible careful. I can't really hold my kids or do much around the house. I'm feeling so much better and am just glad it's over. The stones were calcium build up and they think it's from having my babies so close and taking a lot of tums when I was pregnant.
I just want to thank everyone who helped with my kids and for bringing us dinners. And especially thank Johnny who has been unbelievable, taking care of the kids doing the dishes and picking up the house.
