Chris and the Hospital!!

On Friday morning around 1am, Chris got up and was hurting really bad on his right side. He was so sick and in so much pain. So around 3am he decided he wanted to go to the ER. They immediately took him in. They shot him up with pain meds and took X-rays and other test. Come to find out, hours later around 7am, he had a kidney stone that was not going to pass. At that time he was admitted into the hospital.
So I went home to take the girls out and take a shower and all that stuff, when Chris called to tell me they were going to do laser surgery to break up the stone and put a stint in between his kidney and bladder, at 5pm. So I headed back up there and stayed with him till surgery. He went in around 5:45 and came back to the room at 10:30. The doctor said that after surgery, Chris had larnyx spasms, I don't remember what they actually call it. So all night he was in so much pain and they had him hooked up this oxygen machine that showed what his levels where. The machine went off at least 7 or 8 times during the night. He had a very rough night.
The next morning around 10am the Doctor came in and wanted Chris to stay until the evening. So we did.
The stint that they put in was causing Chris so much pain, he would just double over in agony. On Tuesday, thank goodness, he had the stint removed. He was in pain for the next couple of hours. But thankfully he is doing much better now. He has felt so much better in the last two days that he even went out and put his new radiator in his truck! LOL Thank you for all of your prayers. We love you all!!
