The other night I woke up at 5 am to find hubby standing up, hoving over me. Scared the crap out of me! Turns out he was not hovering over me, he was leaning on the footboard of the bed. But at 5 am, it felt like it. Turns out he was coming to wake me up to call 911 because he was in excruciating pain, but on his way to the bedroom it started to subside and he was trying to decide if he could wait it out or not. We called telehealth and they recommended he get to a doctor the next day. Hubby HATES to follow advice. So last night, he was hit again. this time at 8pm and thankfully the kids were still awake, so i packed them all up and headed off to the hospital. Emerg wasn't bad, we got there shortly after 8pm and were home by 11 (with two kids who should have been going to bed before we even left the house? honestly wasn't as bad as it sounds. thank God for the snugli!!). turns out he has a kidney stone. I didn't get to bed until sometime after midnight, and Monster woke up every hour until the alarm went off at 6:30am. I got the kids up for 7, got them dressed and left the house to take hubby to the hospital for a CT scan. I dropped him off and headed home. He called for a pickup at 10:30. He has a 6mm kidney stone that they want him to try and pass. That sounds easy doesn't it? Pass? What a horrific thing to witness. Angel was in tears and at one point, sobbing. I am glad the kids were there, it gave me something else to things about and concentrate on.
He is better now, the pain is only lasting for 15 min or so at a time, and he is on some medications to help him. The doctor wants to give him 2 weeks!! before they take any other measures. I hope this is over soon!
