Brandon's little scare


So I'm at work yesterday and I get a call from Brandon. He says he left work and is on the way to the hospital because he's in a lot of pain and is very nauseous! I wanted to leave work right then to go meet him at the hospital, but he said he would call me in a little bit and let me know what is going on. So I get a call a little while later and he says to come to the hospital. He sounded horrible and I was so worried! So I immediately got up and left and drove to McKay Dee Hospital. The whole drive there I just kept thinking in my mind of all the horrible things that could be going on. What if it's his appendix, what if he has some disease, what if he has cancer (Lol, I worry a lot). When I get to the hospital he is laying on the gurney and looks to be a lot better. I just hugged and squeezed him to death. Apparently, he passed a kidney stone a little bit before I arrived. He said he felt 100% better, which I was grateful for! He described the pain to me and said it's one of the worst things he has ever gone through. I'm just sad that I wasn't there during all of his pain. Not that there is anything I could've done to make it go away, but I could just be there to comfort him and help walk. The doctor said that it is likely that he will have more in the future, which really sucks. But at least he will be able to recognize what is going on. I love my husband so much and I'm soooo glad that he is feeling better, and that everything is okay!!

That sucks! I have had two babies and kidney stones. I can tell you that kidney stones really are just as painful as having a baby! I am gald it was nothing more serious. I am a worrier to. My mind always goes to the worst that something can be.
