Sleep is Overrated!

Ha. Yeah right. I need sleep. I want sleep. Will I ever get to sleep again? Mr. Jake was doing so well for about 4 days but last night he regressed back to his old ways. Can't seem to keep the boy fed long enough for him to sleep. Growing pains maybe? I don't know how his little body stays awake for as long as it does. I'm hoping last night was just a freak thing and he will go back to sleeping 4-5 hours at night.

Even though he makes us crazy with no sleep, all he has to do is smile and it makes everything okay!

The Not So Rolling Stones

Damn kidney stone was stuck in the tube, it never rolled anywhere. I had a visit with the urologist yesterday and he found that the stone never actually made it to my bladder. The stone was a bit large measuring in at 4 mm. It wasn't going to come out by itself, so I had to have surgery this morning. Yeah, surgery. The urologist said there are still a couple of stones in my kidney but they are very small and won't do any harm if they try to come out.

Fortunately my dad and step-witch were able to help. I know, I shouldn't call her the step-witch now. I am very grateful for all she has done. I hate asking people for help cause I feel like I'm inconveniencing everyone. Mike's work has been stupid about all of it wondering why he can't be at work. He was able to take tomorrow off to take care of Jake, since I can't. That's what sucks about this whole thing...I can't take care of my baby. Yesterday I was trying to give the little guy a bath and I couldn't finish dressing him cause I got sick. He laid on the bed alone for what seemed like forever but he was fine!

Anyway, the urologist is going to run some tests to figure out why I'm producing the stones. Hopefully he can figure something out cause I HATE KIDNEY STONES!

I Love the ER!

Um, yeah...we were back again. Stupid ER. I think we should start an 'ER Fund' soon as it's starting to get kinda costly. Sheesh! This morning at 6 am, I got up to feed Jake and starting feeling weird. I kept thinking, "no way is this another kidney stone passing!" Pain kept getting worse. Mike was supposed to go to work and I didn't want to make a big deal about another kidney stone but the pain wouldn't go away...even after taking a pain pill. So, to the ER we went. Luckily my dad and step-mother were able to come take care of Jake so we didn't have to take him. Ironically enough, they put us in the same damn room that Jake was in when we went with him 3 weeks ago.

The ER doc said the stone was small which contradicts what the last ER doc said..."those won't pass without help." After another CAT scan the doc said the remaining stones were gone and said I had passed them. WHAT? I didn't even feel them. Weird. I have to get into the urologist Monday to make sure they're gone. I'm glad they passed pain free...if they really did pass.

Dear Lord, in the past 3 weeks, we've been to the ER 3 times. This is getting ridiculous! Would anyone like to donate to the fund?
