Emergency Visit to the Hospital

As some of you know, this past Wednesday morning at about 4AM, I had to go to the emergency room due to MAJOR pain in my abdomen. Luckily, Paul's mom was still with us so she was able to watch Chloe while we were at the hospital. Unfortunately, they had to admit me and I spent 2 days there.

They performed a procedure on me that checked out my common bile duct as well as my liver and pancreas. It is called an ERCP (check out the link to read about it).

Apparently, when I had my gall bladder removed late year, there was still a stone there that was causing a lot of trouble. They think it passed, but went in with an endoscope to make sure. Two days later (and I'm sure a big doctor bill) I'm home and feeling much better. Despite the fact that we had to shorten our trip to Maine, we are still able to leave this Tuesday and have a good stay. I'm thankful for the good care, and all the people that helped out to make things run smoothly at home....especially Paul and Mary.
