Scary...

So at about 1:00 this morning, I woke up to Scott rolling around complaining about really bad stomach pain. I asked him where it was hurting and he said it was in his lower right side. Of course, I thought for sure it was appendicitis. Well, right after that, he went in the bathroom and started throwing up. After that, I decided we for sure needed to go to the ER. So we packed up in the car and headed out. As soon as we got there, they took him right back to a room and checked his vitals, got him hooked up to an IV with some fluids and pain meds. They got his blood drawn and sent to the lab and the doctor came in to see him, all within a matter of about 30 minutes. I was really impressed by how quickly they took care of him. So the doctor examined him and right off the bat said he was positive it was kidney stones, but he wanted to send him for a CT to make sure that's what it was. So they did the CT, and sure enough, it was kidney stones. He had one that was in the midst of passing from the kidney into his bladder, and that is what was causing the pain. He also has a bladder infection, which they said is pretty common with kidney stones. So they sent him home with some prescriptions for pain meds and antibiotics and said the stone should pass within the next few hours. Well, it did pass at about 3:00 this afternoon. He is doing so much better since it passed. I really hope that he doesn't continue getting these. This was really one of the scariest things I have ever been through and I never want to have to do it again. I am just glad Scott is doing alright now.
