I know I didn't post anything about this initally, but this is what I've been dealing with since Saturday.
Saturday morning, my mom took my dad into the ER for severe stomach pains (among other symptoms).
After tests throughout Saturday and Sunday, it was determined that he had gallstones, jaundice (inflamed liver), an infected and inflamed gallbladder, and a case of panreatitis (inflamed pancreas).
He went in to have the gallstone removed today, and with minor complications (slight bleeding from an incision during the endoscopy), the stone was removed (appox. 1cm across).
At some point tomorrow, he's having his gallbladder removed. We don't know when, but we've got our fingers crossed that it will actually happen tomorrow (originally was supposed to get done on Satuday, then got pushed to Monday, then to today, now tomorrow).
I'm drained, both physically, and emotionally.
Back to the hospital tomorrow.
On a lighter note, I pulled the trigger and bought a new motorcycle on Saturday. Now all I need to do is find a ride over to pick it up! (Chris, this is the favor I had mentioned) I might be able to get my mom to take me over, but we dont' know for sure what's going to happen.
