Somebody paleeesseee kill mee

Let me please share my mothers day experience. Well first and foremost it was my 23rd birthday in addition to mothers day, usually fun. Not this year. I was in the emergency room all night long on May 10th I got kidney stones again!!!! Are you kidding me? Twice in 1 month! It's beginning to become ridiculous. This time it was my right kidney, a month ago it was my left. It's really hard for the dr's to do much since i'm pregnant, they can't do x-ray's or lazer the stones, which normally they could if you aren't pregnant. The worst of it all is that when they did a kidney ultrasound there is another stone in my left kidney that hasn't moved yet so it's just a matter of time. If I can't pass the stone that's causing me the pain in my right kidney here in the next day or two, then i'll be admitted to the hospital and they will use whats called a stint similar to a cathader, and go up thru the urethra (graphic I know) and try to get the stone to pass that way. My poor hub has been so good thru it all, that's the 3rd E.R. Trip in 2 months. Anyway, I pray that things will get better, the good news though and the most important is that the baby is doing great! It's a fighter. So really I can't complain, lets just hope I pass the stones soon. More importantly, lets hope that the dr's can find out whats causing them.

I'm so sorry!!! That is not a good way to spend mother's day, and especially your birthday. I will say a little prayer for you.
