Daddy's in the Hospital

Stephen went in on Monday for his colonoscopy. He finished the colon cleanse and the "starving" process. However, before they could perform the procedure, he began having kidney stone pain. They gave him some Demerol for the pain and then put him to sleep for the colonoscopy. He had a hard time waking up because of all the medicine. To make a long story short, we waited until about 10:00pm until they finally admitted him to a room. We basically refused to go home!! He had surgery again today where they did more laser surgery to break up the stones and then put in a stint, which will have to be removed next week. He is still in a lot of pain and passing a lot of blood. He has a Demerol pump, which he controls himself, which helps some. The doctor will see him first thing in the morning and hopefully we will go home tomorrow.

Chloe is staying with Grammie and O'Pa, I don't know what we would do without Grammie! She has really helped us out this week. Continue to pray for Stephen's speedy recovery.

What a bummer! He will be in my prayers. Zoe would love to have Chloe over to play anytime. Feel free to call me if you need any help.
