Making Pearls from Stones

Anyone who has dealt with gallbladder issues will understand how quickly things can get out of hand. Kelly has been in to the doctor with some pretty uncomfortable pain and nausea which was determined to be likely viral. Next step was to the emergency room to find out that it was indeed the gallbladder. We left Sunday night intending to schedule a surgery and keep a careful watch on her diet. Monday rolled around and we had an appointment to meet with the surgeon and some medicine to deal with the symptoms until we could schedule the procedure. It wasn't even that afternoon when the symptoms were no longer being controlled by the narcotics, so back we went to the ER at the surgeon's nurse's advice. At about 5:30, our beautiful tiny gallbladder was delivered with three lovely stones. The mother, or as I'll call her, the host, is doing well, feeling better than ever and recovering. If all goes to plan (as it has so well thus far) she'll be home this morning and back to normal next week
