Kidney Stones = Crappy Weekend!

So this past week was kinda crappy in the fact that we spent all of our Friday night at the hospital in labor and delivery! I had been having pain in my back around my kidney area starting on Wednesday morning and they just seemed to be getting worse and worse. So I called the doctor and asked her what I could do for the pain. She suggested to come in and get some tests done... but that of course costs money... so I tried to put that off as long as I could and just pop some tylenol and put an icy hot patch on and call it good. Well that worked for a while, all through the next day til around noon when I decided to go and get a few tests done at the hospital. The tests came back fine... (no sign of a kidney stone and no UTI) only a high white cell blood count, which could mean an infection, and so I seriously thought I was just being a wuss. The doctor suggested that I come in and get a kidney ultrasound but I decided again to wait one more night to see how bad I was really hurting. So that night I decided to get the tylenol out of my system and take the icy hot patch off my back to see how bad the pain really was... it was excruciating! It seriously felt like someone was stabbing me in the back and twisting it. Anyways needless to say I didn't sleep very well that night and we decided to call the doctor the next day to let her know that we wanted to come in and get that kidney ultrasound to see if I had anything wrong with my kidneys. Tim and I went in (Friday) and got a kidney ultrasound and the results came back saying that i had an inflamed kidney. My doctor was waiting seeing what type of medicine the radiologist was going to prescribe for me and called back around 4:30 and said "I really think that you need to come into labor and delivery and get a few more tests done and so we can make sure that the baby is doing ok. So I'm freaking out... calling Tim letting him know what she said... he was just about to book his flight over to Atlanta for the Supercross Race over there and luckily I called him when I did. He came down to the hospital and checked in with me at 5:30. So they hooked me up to an IV to get some fluids in me ... mind you I haven't eaten since noon and I'm starving... the doctor comes in and says I don't want you to eat anything cuz if we have to do surgery then we can't have food in your stomache. Oh great... I get so onry when I don't eat especially being pregnant! So they ran some tests and thought that I may have a kidney stone so they flushed me with fluids and were about to do a CT scan to see how big it was and if it was blocking the flow of the kidney's. Steven came down and brought Tim some amazing food from Aly and he and Tim gave me a blessing. Not kidding you, 10 minutes after Steven left I needed to head to the bathroom cuz I wanted to make sure I have an empty bladder when we went in for surgery. Well I saw something in my pee in the toilet... a little pebble. So I called Tim in there and told him to go and get the nurse. The wheelchair that was transporting me to go and get the CT Scan was right outside of my room ready to take me. The nurse and the doctor came in and were so suprised that i had passed a failry large kidney stone right there right before they were going to do the CT Scan. I was so thrilled too cuz the pain had already started to ease! We only had to do a kidney ultrasound one more time and the results came back really good! anyways we were out of there by 1am so tired and ready to eat and go to bed! I am so grateful for this gospel and for an amazing husband who has the authority to hold the Priesthood and to give me a blessing! I really know that that is what helped us get out of the hospital that night. I can't tell you how much I love Tim and can't wait to get to meet this little one! We are so glad that she is doing well and growing right on track! =) Only 11 more weeks!!! YAY!!!
