Update on Kristen

Kristen got really sick Tueday night. I came home early to find her sick. Like, sick. I put the kiddos in bed, found her some medicine and she crashed at about 8:30pm.

The next morning, she woke up feeling better, so I got ready for work. Thirty minutes later she told me she wasn't feeling good and then she fell asleep. (She's really sensitive to medicine, so I let her sleep.) By yesterday evening, she was a little better. I called Dr. Saldana from church because Kristen mentioned that it might be her gallbladder. After talking to Mark, he said it sounded like gallstones to him. He suggested she call her doctor.

This morning (Thursday,) I arranged for my mother-in-law to watch Finley for a couple of hours while I took Jonah to work with me. Krist slept a little and generally took it easy. Around lunchtime, Jonah and I came home. Krist had called her doctor, but he was out of town for the week. Her mom picked her up and took her to our local urgent care clinic while I stayed home.

She called about twenty minutes later and told me the urgent care clinic was gross and that she was headed to Dr. Saldana's. Then she calls ten minutes later and says that her aunt made an appointment with a Dr. Ha in town. She cancelled the Saldana appointment (twenty minute drive) an opted for Dr. Ha (four minutes away.)

Dr. Ha sends her to get an ultrasound, but when they arrive, no one is working at the ultrasound office. Odd. Finally, they find someone to do the ultrasound, then talk to the doctor again.

As it stands, tomorrow Kristen will find out the status of her gallbladder. If her gallbladder is infected, she'll stay overnight at a hospital so she can be on an IV for the removal. If not infected, they'll do an outpatient procedure.

She's home now, not in as much pain, but still pretty sick. I'll try to let everybody know what's up tomorrow.
