If You See This Sign--

If you see this sign, you’ve probably already fallen out of bed….

So what do we do while waiting for a procedure to begin?

“Emily, maybe these can keep my ears warm….”

“Oh Daddy! You are so funny!”

“You’re not going to show anyone these pictures are you???”

I can’t tell you exactly what the Lithotripsy was like, but I understood Emily would be in pain when she came out because the sound waves basically beat her to break up the kidney stone. She was in pain when we brought her home in the evening and I gave her pain medication twice last night. This morning it is as if a heavy cloud was lifted! I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to see Emily relaxed and NOT in pain.

Emily did well during the Lithotripsy procedure and she was so happy that she didn’t have to get a new IV in (she has a Pic line in). The doctor had to physically crush and remove the stone in the kidney but the shock waves broke it up in the bladder.

During the procedure we took some time and walked in the hallways. There were glass cases filled with blown-glass items. My camera phone doesn’t do justice to these beautiful pieces.

This was my favorite.

These were sea anemones. Oh how I wished I could touch these. I have this tactile thing and I love to touch stuff. Probably good thing it was behind glass.

Well, the sun is up, kids are happy, and my garden needs watering. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Thanks for listening ~
