No John Stamos In This ER

At 10pm last night Chris walked into the family room and said something just "wasn't right" - and he wanted to go to the ER. He had been complaining of a pain in his side on and off for the last two months and came home from work last night complaining that his shoulder was KILLING him.

By 10pm last night, the pain from both were so bad that he just couldn't take it anymore - so off to St. Vincent's we went.

Turns out his gallbladder is inflamed. No active infection, just "sludge" (ER doc's word, not mine). She said that "sludge" (or "mud") would cause the same pain that an infected gallbladder would cause. It was determined that this is the cause of the pain he'd been having off and on in his side for the last few months and apparently, the shoulder pain is referred pain from the inflamed gallbladder.

At 3:30am they sent us on our way with instructions for a low fat diet, a referral for a surgeon and a prescription for pain killers.

We got home just before 4 (thanks to Aunt Kate and Grandma for being such troopers and haning out with the little guy!!) and crawled right into bed, and without fail, our 2 year old alarm clock was up at 6:11am!

It's going to be one of those days!
