Are you serious?

Well since Saturday night around 1:00 a.m. Jonathon has had major stomach pain.. He survived (barely) through the night.. and we took him to the clinic Sunday morning.. The doctor thought he might have food poisoning and put and IV in him to help keep him hydrated because he'd thrown up so much.. They gave him some pain medication.. and about 3 hours later sent us home.. with a prescription for nausea. Sunday he pretty much slept all day.. and Monday it seemed like he was getting better.. Well Monday night the pain started up really bad again.. and he started throwing up about every 20 min... he survived through the night again.. but knew something was really wrong.. So this morning we took him to the E.R. and found out that he has a kidney stone :( Oh my poor baby.. The doctor said that it had passed about 90% of the way.. So basically he suffered in pain the whole time.. not knowing exactly what it was.. And you know boys.. they don't go to the hospital until they are dying.. and a few times throughout the horrible couple of days.. he did in fact say he'd rather die.. than continue having the pain he was... We were at the hospital for about 3 hours today.. and he was sent home with a bunch of different medication.. Pain killers included! So hopefully he'll be able to sleep. The doctor said that it should pass soon.. but it could take up to a week.. Hopefully it won't because if you don't pass it on your own.. you have to have it removed.. and of course that just stinks.. So pray for him.. and hopefully it will pass very quickly.
