Well we have finally found out why Mike is still sick. He has a massive kidney stone stuck in his ureter. It's a 5 mm stone and the ureter is about 3mm. So the wonderful kidney stone has wreaked havoc on his ureter. Enough so that they have to put a ureteral stent in. Michaella says that "Daddy has a big rock stuck in his little pee pee." I think this is the only time in his life that he will allow his pee pee to be described as little :).
So tomorrow he goes in for surgery at 2. They will go in and break up the stone with the ultrasound and they will place the stent. All of this will happen while he is asleep. Then a couple days later they will go and pull the stent out. This will happen while he is awake. He is not amused by the idea of being awake.
I am so glad that it is just a kidney stone and nothing more. There were times we worried it was cancer. So yeah for that. But not to say that this kidney stone is not painful. He is hopped up on drugs constantly and is nauseous for the pain. I really do feel for him and I am so excited to get it out so that he can be comfortable again.

Tuesday, April 15, 2008
I just want to quickly post a blog about this blog thing. I love to get to work every morning and waste company time reading everyone's blog. It is so fun to be able to have a sense of what everyone is doing and how everyone is doing. I can catch up with old friends and I can keep up with my family. It really is a blessing to be able to use the resources we have to stay in contact with the people we love. I don't have to feel like I'm hundreds of miles away from everyone.
A little update
Thursday, April 3, 2008
Okay I figure I should send a little update. Mike is doing well he goes into the urologist on Monday to do the scope thing up his wee wee. Needless to say he is not excited.
We've all had our round of sickness the last couple weeks. Michaella had strep last week and was out for 2 days and then I caught some viral upper respiratory infection and I was out for 2 days this week. So I'm pretty much out of sick time this year. Lets hope none of us get sick until 2009.
We have given to go ahead on our basement so that is now our big project for the next couple months. It is kind of exciting! Although I do not look forward to all the extra space to clean! not to mention 2 more toilets.
I've been meaning to get some Easter pics up but for some reason I can't manage to remember to do it when I get home. I will try to remember soon. well toot a loo for now I will update when I know anything more about Mike.
