GALL STONES FOR SON

Well this day started out roughly , well actually things started just before midnight last night with a call from d-in-love saying #1 son was hurting so badly she was going to have to take him to the emergency room.
Hubbie went down to stay with RL, who was asleep and g-son.
Son went to the emergency room at Advent Health and was the only patient there thankfully. D-in-love wasn't allowed to go in with him because of the virus but he was able to check in and they got him back to start running test quickly.
At 12:30 they had ran an EKG and blood test and getting ready to put dye in his arm and run a test to check his gall bladder.
RL woke up and was upset that her dad had to go to the doctor and wouldn't go back to sleep so hubbie sat and held her until they got home.
They got home just before 2 am and the gall bladder test showed a very inflamed gall bladder with gall stones that was causing the sever pain.
They gave him pain meds and he has to call the surgeon tomorrow and make an appointment to see him to schedule surgery.
We are all thankful that at least they found what was wrong. This is the second time he has been to the emergency room with this pain. He has been having it for weeks. Why they didn't test for the gall stones the first time we don't know.
Anyway we all got to sleep after 2am so this morning was a late start morning. It was another rainy cloudy day.
During the early morning hours the second tropical storm of the season formed and came ashore in the Charleston area on SC which thankfully only brought us about 1/4 inch of rain today so far..

I got chores done and then brought a box in the house to put the newly hatched chicks in until the rest hatch and to give them a good start before moving them out into the new brooder box in the green house.
So far there are only 12 total hatched, 5 guineas and 7 chicks.
Daughter came over with the girls after picking up lunch for all the kids. Of course IR wanted to be the first to hold one of the baby chicks.  She is so funny she wants to hold them but acts afraid of them .

Soon RL , g-son and d-in-love came in and of course RL had to hold chicks and then guineas and she definitely isn't afraid of the babies.
We all ate lunch and then the girls played  while their mom's worked on their online schoolwork. Daughter and d-in-love had some errands to run so they took CA so would nap in the car and left RL and IR with hubbie and me. We all wished we could get outside but the light rain and mud made for an inside play day.
After their mom's came back the girls had to hold chicks one more time before they left.


After the girls left hubbie and I took short re-energizing naps while we tried to watch the news.
We got chores done and this large hen is maintaining her setting so I gave her 7 layer hen eggs which she promptly pulled underneath her .
I will be starting the incubator back up again once these eggs all hatch and I get it cleaned out for a couple days so maybe if she does get off the eggs before the 21 days I can rescue them.
And who knows maybe she will be a good setter.
After a snack for supper I did weekly paperwork and paid bills and then spent the evening working on CA's birthday quilt.
She will be one year old tomorrow and it doesn't even seem possible !!!
Thankful for the blessings of this day and so thankful that son's trouble was identified and praying for him as he faces another surgery in the near future.
God Bless and Good Night

I will say a prayer for #1 son that he will soon be free of pain. I've heard that gall stones are extremely painful. If they are anything like kidney stones, I'll say extra prayers. Can't believe CA is a year old already. Happy Birthday, CA!
