Quick Trip To The Emergency - Nothing Serious

Katie has been gradually progressing over the last couple of days. She was still experiencing some nausea on Tuesday. Tuesday night she slept through without having to get up. Wednesday was uneventful. She was a little weak, but she stayed awake all day.

About 5:00 a.m. this morning she woke up with a sharp pain in her left side. It was so bad that she couldn't stop crying. We waited about 15-20 minutes, after which, we decided to take her to emergency at South Shore Hospital. As Sandra was checking in at the registration desk, Katie vomited quite a bit. After we were placed in an examination room, the pain lessened. The doctors did a CT Scan and an X-ray. There were no abnormalities. They surmised that she may have had a kidney stone and that it may have passed. Based on the tests, they suggested that we purchase some medication to help her with her bowels, so we did that.

We arrived back home around 8:30 a.m. She is resting on the couch now.

Hi guys, hopefully soon Katie will be feeling so much better. I am praying that happens sooner than later. Sorry I haven't signed it in a bit but the internet has had some weird things going on with it with all these new virus's trying to attack everything and we have stayed offline to make sure our computer didn't get infected with them. I have thought of you all daily and am still praying for all of you.
Try to have a good day and God bless you guys.
