In the midst of my kidney stone attack, Ella decided she was going to truly start walking! Instead of just taking her occasional 4-10 steps here and there, she is toddling all over the house. She turns around and walks the other way, can squat down and stand right back up and be on her [...]
Well………………….according to the urologist that I saw yesterday, he says that I do have a stone–the CT scan revealed one about 3 mm in size still attached to my kidney. But, he doesn’t think that’s what caused me all of my pain because it is still attached. His theory is that I may have already [...]
It hasn’t passed, but I am not in near as much pain as I was on Friday night through Sunday night. Yesterday was way better and today I woke up without excrutiating pain, yet the stone still hasn’t passed. I don’ get it–I’m just uncomfortable now (well, maybe if I quit meds all together I’d [...]
Well, the waiting game is in full swing now. I have to wait until Wednesday to get a CT scan if the stone doesn’t pass by then. Apparently, the fact that my meds are helping maintain the pain means that there is no blockage to the kidney. So…I have to wait it out–but, the doc [...]
Thanks for all of your prayers, you guys. I am hanging in there and drinking more than I’ve ever wanted to drink in my life. The pain meds are really the only way I’ve been able to be up to try and love on Ella a little bit. I also feel like I could take [...]
It’s 9:45 a.m. on Saturday and I am trying to pass a kidney stone. I was in pain all night and Stevan was out of town so I waited until morning to call someone. It feels like labor all over again. Ella is doing wonderful, but pray she wants to sleep before my pain meds [...]
I love Pumpkin Spice Lattes! I’m addicted–I just don’t have the money to support my habit so it won’t turn into an all-consuming obsession. I am in-debted to my friend, Tina, who has supported my addiction two days in a row this week. What a friend! It’s more than that though, I think I love [...]
Saturday night was a success! We started out at the church doing manicures and pedicures, we ate some yummy food, and then I shared. We then took the girls bowling in their dresses! Ha! We hit up Starbuck’s to end the night. It went so well! I was, of course, nervous about sharing, but I [...]
Stevan designed this, can’t you tell? He’s so good! This is the event for teen girls that we have been planning for a while now. I’m freaked out by some of it, but am thriving in being able to help plan something that hopefully, will be so encouraging and so much fun! The teacher in [...]
