Houston, we have a problem...

Oh the joys of spending the night in Presby's ER!

Ron started complaining of a "different" pain in his belly and back Thursday night, enough that doses of both Tylenol with Codeine and a lollipop did not diminish the level. We contacted Dr. A and decision was made to bring him in to Presby. Dr. A called to give them a head's up and to tell them what tests he wanted done. We arrived a little before midnight and they got him right in. Then began the process of blood work, EKG, xray, drinking the lovely contrast and then waiting an hour to do a CT. Looks like he has at least a partial bowel obstruction....BOOOOO!!!! But, at least we know the source of the problem.

Treament is to put him back on total bowel rest...nothing to eat or drink.....and we watch and wait and hope it resolves itself on it's own. If not....well, we don't want to go there, so please pray this will resolve on it's own, quickly! Ryan & Stacee's wedding is in 2 weeks and 1 day!

They are admitting him now and he'll be here for a few days or so.

Thanks, faithful ones!
