RSS Feed (xml)Remember those kidney stones? Well they reared their ugly head last night, J was in so much pain I actually thought he might die. We went to the "emergency room" at 11pm only to find there were no doctors on duty. In fact, there were only two women on duty for the whole hospital. So they medicate him (I could elaborate here but it was actually too scary to recount) and then we go home only for the medication to wear off. We come back in the morning and things proceeded to get worse. I don't think I've been this scared in a long time.
Long story short is the stones are one issue but there might be something worse underneath, something that caught us terribly by surprise and has us rather scared. We've been advised by the doctor here that we need to go to the states and see a specialist and we need to go soon so after much debate and heartache and tears we are flying home in a couple days so we can make sure (we have to make sure we will make sure it will be fine it will be it must) that J is okay and to also deal with those nasty stones, something relegated to the side for the moment yet painful as hell.
So after 47 days we are unexpectedly going back but are leaving our house and our puppy and our car in good hands and will return as soon as we make sure J is okay. Coming back home is the phrase I used and was surprised at it's ease. This has been an adventure from the beginning, as much as we want to understand why this is happening we can only feel thankful for friends ready to assist in the states and our new community here and for health insurance, that nasty bugger that everyone complains about until you really need it and then you realize how utterly grateful you are that it exists.
Because last night scared me and it scared me bad.
PS. If you are sending supplies for M's preschool but haven't yet shipped them please hold off till we know our return date. If you've already shipped a package I've asked a friend here to intervene and hope she can pick them up in my absence. I apologize for this, am not sure what else I can do.

I'm so sorry. I know this is so scary. I am thinking of you. Let me know what you need. xo
So sorry that you're going through this. Thoughts with you all. Safe travels.
I hope all's well, and soon. Thinking of you.
Oh, no. Good thoughts for you and J as you handle this bump in the road. Be safe.
Wow - prayers and good thoughts for you all. Severe pain and medical problems are scary in even the best of situations - I can't even imagine adding the stress of having to travel to deal with them.
I hope everything is OK!
Thinking of you all.
Sounds like it was a terrifying experience with more unknowns ahead. I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best.
Will be thinking of you, hoping that it all turns out okay.
Oh, Jen. This must be incredibly frightening. Will be thinking about you -- and hoping that it's just a scare, nothing more.
Oh, crappy crappington (yeah, I just called Lorenzo a Mo-Fu for slamming my hand in a door, so I'm trying to be a bit more creative with my curses).
I'm so sorry for you guys. I hate that J is in pain and that you are frightened. I am thankful that you have options and that if you need help here that you are going to get it.
PS. I sent a package on 4/2 which should arrive any time between the ninth and the 16th. It is just stuff for the school (sorry, I didn't stick in any personal goodies, but I was afraid if I thought about it too long it would take me forever to get it out the door).
Oh, no. Thinking of you all.
oh Jen. i'm so sorry for J's pain and the fear and for the sudden need to change plans at least for a bit. breathe, and come back, and get him well, and we will all be with you as you begin this adventure again after that.
sending good thoughts and vibes your way. safe travels.
we are all sending good thoughts and vibes your way.
Praying for you all.
Oh Jen. I am so sorry for you and for J. I hope it gets cleared up quickly and that you can settle back into your new life. I STILL have your package on my dining room table. I will sit tight until I hear from you.
Oh honey. No. let me know what is going on when you find out some more info. xoxo
