ER

Bill had very bad abdominal pains on Sunday night after dinner. With his appendix out years ago and the whole family eating the same food, we knew it was not appendicitis or food related. The pain brought him to his knees and came in waves. The kids were getting ready for bed and after an hour without improvement I called my parents to watch the kids so I could take Bill to the ER. They got him in quickly and first suspects kidney stones, he was still in a great amount of pain. After the meds and 2 bags of saline, he started to fell better. The blood tests, urine tests, CAT scans and all came back normal. It turns out it was a bad case of constipation! We didn't get discharged until 1 AM. The house is now fully stocked with broccoli, kale, green beans and salad. And I prepare Bill an extra serving of fruit when I fix the kids some fruit.
