If you have a second or two, would you please say a little prayer for my cute Jonny? The poor boy got a kidney stone more than three weeks ago. He is all alone so far away and called me in so much pain. He was transferred the next day to a place with a better medical facility. They basically told him to take some pain meds and come back in two weeks if he didn't pass it. He didn't pass it and when they did a CT scan it hadn't moved at all.
He was then transferred to another place with a urologist. The Dr. went in (do you know where they 'go in' through? Yuck.)and he could not get to the stone to laser it. So they put a stint in and are waiting another week to go back in and see if they can get it.
I am always amazed at how strong mentally Jonny is - he just deals with whatever comes very stoically, but he is starting to feel a little down from being in pain so long. I told him that I can complain about child birth all I want, but I can never say it has lasted four weeks! So if you could send any thoughts and prayers his way we would appreciate it!

The Magic of Motherhood
- 5/22 I found Matthew in his closet looking for some shoes today. I said, "Which ones are you looking for?" thinking I could help him look. He replied, "Ummmm, the ones I'm looking for." He wasn't being snotty or anything. Just a perfectly logical answer in his little boy mind.
- Emma loves to decorate the house and make it all fancy. In the midst of one such decorating frenzy she told me, "If you want, you can call me designer girl!"
- Emma asked me the other day, "Why do the policemans have these, like, wand things that they can conk the bad men on the heads with? Maybe it is so they can under arrest them."
- I heard Emma say to the little kids, "You guys! Get out of here! I am making a bra for my boobies!" I looked in their room and sure enough, she was fashioning a bra out of tissue paper.
- Matthew gave me a big kiss good night and then announced, "That makes us happy. It makes me happy and it makes you happy. Yep, it makes us happy."
- 5/11 Matthew fell and had a big red rug burn on his forehead. Emma told him, "Well, at least it is red and matches your hair, perhaps."
- 5/11 Matthew was telling me a big story about how "I got this on twos-day and this on threes-day..."
- 4/23 I put Sophie in a time out this morning for hitting Emma. I could tell I really got through to her because when I went to let her out she was hopping all around. She beamed at me and said, "I dancing!"
- 3/20 Matthew told me today that he wanted to wear some of my jewelry and I told him that boys don't wear jewelry. I know they do, I just didn't want him to wear mine. Emma was listening and replied "Boys can wear earrings if they're in a band and they're rockin' out."
- After a game of hide and seek I told the kids they were good hiders. Matthew smiled a self satisfied little smile and said, "Yep! We sure are hidey!"
- Emma was eating breakfast and naming all the fingers on her hand, "This is the pointer finger, and this is the ring finger, and this is the pinky..." and Matthew stuck his thumb up and said, "Yeah! And this is the good job finger!"
- Matthew and Sophie were in one of their frequent squabbles the other day and Emma informed me that Matthew had hit Sophie and then Matthew informed me that Sophie hit him first. Does your head start to hurt when you read that? Because mine does when I hear it...So I started lecturing Matthew,"Just because she hits you it doesn't mean you hit her back..." and he interrupted me to say, "I didn't hit her back! I hit her tummy!!"
- Emma was trying on a bunch of clothes that her cousin had grown out of (thanks Jenny!) and there were three swimming suits in the box. She loved trying them all on but one was a little loose in the bosom area. Emma announced, "This one doesn't fit me. It's a booby poker outer."
- I am always reminding Matty "make sure your hoo hoo is down" when he is going potty so we don't have a big mess (and then he doesn't slip and fall in it - true story). So one day at a restaurant I had Matthew and Sophie with me in the stall and as I sat down Matthew reminded me, "Mommy, make sure your hoo hoo is down."
- Matthew was in the bathroom going potty and I heard him tooting up a storm. Then I heard him say to no one in particular, "Maybe the toots are talking. And they are saying 'Po-op! Poopy!'"
- Dec 21 When I woke up this morning I found Matthew rubbing his hands all over a bra that I had left out by my bed. He told me, "I just love this. It is so beautiful." Do they just come hardwired with a boob attratction?!
- Dec 15 Emma picked up a piece of ribbon today and said, "This looks like Santa's wacker for his reindeer." It took me a minute to figure out she meant a whip.
- Dec 9 Emma came out of the bathroom this morning just as Matthew was heading in. He told her, "Emma you are stinky!" She was all offended and yelled back at him, "Matthew! It's not my body! It's my POOP!"
- Dec 5 Today Emma was eating her lunch and she knocked her napkin on the ground. She announced to me, "Mom. My napkin falled on the ground." I asked her if that was my cue to jump up and get it. She told me, "Welllll, I wouldn't want you to get bored."
- Dec 1 Emma had a friend over to play the other day and they were talking about watching the movie "The Princess Diaries." Matthew heard them and complained loudly, "NO! I don't want diarrhea!"

Poor Jonny. It's bad enough to get a kidney stone, but to get one over there? That sucks.
OUCH! I'm so sorry to hear that. Lance got one in Basic training. I'll keep him in my prayers!
Yuck, I hear those are pretty painful (although I don't think you should ever concede the pain of pregnancy/childbirth!). I'm just catching up on your blog and have to tell you that I caught a glimpse of you in a picture from the diabetes walk. And you look so good! And, of course, your kids are adorable. I always sit here and read the things they say to Matt and we laugh.
i feel his pain....literally!
probably, they should just send him home...am i right?
Will do!
I have had kidney stones on three different ocassions--never childbirth mind you--and the pain was excruciating. I thought a warm bath would help and within seconds was begging for drugs at the ER. Poor guy.
Oh that's terrible! Hope this is over soon for him.
We have definately been keeping you both in our prayers. I was glad to hear from Mom that they were finally able to get rid of the stone. Sorry to hear that they had to go through his billy to do it! Matty has forever ruined that name for me now!(:
Oh no, poor guy! Definitely in the prayers.
Yuck! I hope he is feeling better by now.
