Update on Chris

Unfortunately the stone was not passed unnoticed like we hoped. Around 1030 last night Chris began feeling severe pain in his left side once again. It wasnt much longer before the vomiting kicked in. He threw up roughly 12 times from the pain and popped some blood vessels in his face :( my poor baby. He braved the pain for almost 12 hours before he consented to a second trip to the ER. He slept around 1 hour total last night. They finally got him back around 1045 this morning and ordered an ultrasound of his kidneys and bladder. He was given IV fluids for dehydration and IV pain and nausea medicine. He was still in quite a bit of pain about 30 min later and was given morphine. He finally got comfortable and his ultrasound showed some inflamation and constriction of the ureter which was not allowing the kidney stone to move. They gave him more medicine to remedy both of those issues. He was given a final dose of pain meds and sent home around 230. He was able to keep down two pieces of toast and was then finally able to get some much needed rest. I woke him up at 745 for dinner and more medicine and we thought he was going to have a pain free and restful night. The last hour or so he has been experiencing severe pain off and on with each spurt lasting roughly 10 to 15 minutes. I am dressed and ready incase ER round 3 is needed. At this point he has been able to keep the latest dose of pain meds down but if he throws those up in the next thirty minutes we will be headed back to the hospital. If that happens, I will request that they admit him, atleast for the night so they can keep him heavily medicated and he can get some much needed rest. I wanted to say thank you for the many text/calls/fb messages of prayers for Chris. Many of you have asked questions concerning his condition and I hope this helps! Please be in continued prayer as we are still waitng for him to pass the stone
