Zach's Sympathy Labor

...was really a kidney stone! yes, poor hubby has a kidney stone! he woke up about 6 this morning and told me his back hurt REALLY bad- worse than ever before- so i do what any good wife/nurse would do and chuck two extra strength tylenol at him while still half asleep. he gets up and takes a warm bath-which never before have i seen him do- i wake up a bit more and start to feel bad for him- he cleaned the bathroom floor on his hands and knees for me yesterday :( and he says he feels like he pinched a nerve since it just hurts RIGHT HERE in this one spot on his left side- nurse mode kicks in- im awake and paying attention now..i feed sawyer who SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT again- (which is the second night in a row now!!!) and get zach an ice pack and a heating pad and icy hot--he starts puking and saying its the worst he has ever felt! so here i am hounding him- are you puking because your back hurts or because you have the flu!! thinking to myself im not bringing him to MY ER if he just has the flu- we make fun of people who do that!! he starts acting like i did when i was in labor- with the heavy breathing and everything so i force him into the car and pack sawyer up and drive to the er- zach says he would like his epidural now on the way there- know the feeling buddy. thankfully two of the nicest nurses i work with were there today and we were the only ones there when we arrived- zach had enough morphine to KILL a horse and was still hurting- i literally gave less morphine to a patient who broke his elbow so bad his bone stuck out his skin... zach wasnt drowsy, loopy, or pain free! after some fentanyl he was finally feeling better and is now snoozing on the couch..with not one but TWO kidney stones on the left side...i told him now he knows what i had to go through in labor! thank goodness for jen and dr. d! i was so glad it was them when we got there! sawyer was well behaved the whole time- we are all worn out now from being up earlier than usual this morning- and despit sawyer sleeping through the night- i still dont sleep well because i wake up and check on him- he slept until 730 today- amazingness! we are all going to take it easy tody- and im going to baby all my boys today and feel glad that when i was in that much pain i was rewarded with the most beautiful son- while zach is only going to get a calcified chunk of pee stone...
