A New Plan

I’m so thankful to the Lord that we are home from the hospital. We’ve been to the pediatrician and now have a new plan.

Monday – Make appointment (again) for the Lithotripsy (kidney stone removal).

Tuesday - Emily will have her back x-rayed to see if the bars are in place and if any of the rings that hold it in place are broken. Make appointment to talk to the orthopedic doctor.

In a week – ultrasound of abdomen, look at pelvic area and kidneys including stone.

July - Appointment with general surgeon to talk about possible adhesions in her abdomen.

Last night wasn’t too bad, Emily slept for several hours, but we are trying to control pain as I type. Thursday night neither of us got any sleep. Being overly tired and in pain isn’t really a good mix, for either of us.

Today nurse comes over and I will do a little more house cleaning while she cares for Emily. Boy howdy. One little girl can sure make a mess in this place when Mom and the other girl is away. I’m also looking forward to Jeff and I taking time for ourselves outside the house, something we haven’t done in a while.

Please continue to pray for:

1. Pain relief for Emily

2. An answer to pain, whether it be Kidney stones, back problems, adhesions, or what ever. We just need to find the problem and get it corrected.

3. Rest. We all need more rest.
