Stoner

So on Thanksgiving Mike woke up early with a horribly sharp pain in his left side. Having had a kidney stone whole on his mission he recognized the pain and hoped it would quickly go away without medical attention. He hobbled out the door on Thanksgiving morning refusing to miss the Turkey bowl. On the was to the game he was about to turn around and come home because he was in so much pain. He decided he'd say a prayer first. After his prayer the pain subsided he played his game and we thought all was well in Zion due to our great faith ;-) However, Sunday morning he woke up in really bad shape. He was suppose to teach a sunday school lesson to the youth for a friend. He came at the end of sacrament and asked for a blessing from the missionaries that he would be able to give the lesson he had diligently prepared. After the blessing the pain was dulled (but still very much there) and he was able to give an incredible lesson to the 16 year olds. After the "Amen" of the closing prayer the pain came back with vengeance and we quickly went home to change our clothes and go to the ER. We were quickly ushered in and a Cat-scan was taken. The CT confirmed that he did indeed had a bad kidney stone (6mm or the size of a green pea.) He was given LOTS of drugs and finally the pain went away and he was discharged. The rest of sunday and monday were rough. However Tues-Thur he was perfectly fine. We thought it was over and had been made whole. Friday morning came and he was in rough shape. I will spare you all the gory details but he was basically having labor like pains all day. He didn't want to go back to the ER but at 5:30pm he had a friend (Thank you Braden!) drive him tot he hospital AGAIN! So long story short the stone is moving and getting stuck and that is what is causing the pain. He was giving another insane amount of medication and we were able to go home at 11:00pm.

Out of it.

Staring out into space.

Prof that I was there and being a very loving wife!

So we'll see how long it takes to get this thing out of him. He's still in pain but learning to function with it. Poor guy we just hope this gets taken care of before Christmas!

So now he is my kidney stoner.... stoner fr short!
