So I got some amazing drugs, they wrote some prescriptions and I headed home to "pass" the stone. They told me drinking a lot of fluids would help it pass. Well as I got home I began sipping liquids and I would throw up after taking anything down. After about eight hours of that cycle, I realized I was not going to be able to pass this stone on my own.
Jordan and I then headed to another hospital. As I was getting settled, two of the hospital employees got in a yelling match in my room. It was so awkward and made me feel so uncomfortable. (Sorry this could be a very witty and humorous post, but I am on so many drugs I can barely type.) After hours of sitting adn waiting my doctors came in and told me that I am going to have surgery to remove the stone.
This morning I had a procedure. They could not remove the stone so they pushed it back up into my kidney. I am going to have to have another three surgeries to get it removed. This is an absolute fiasco!
The crazy thing about this is that the doctors think I got the stone from my prenatal vitamins. They said pregnant women take too many vitamins which causes the buildup in the kidney. Weird huh?
Thanks everyone for your prayers thus far. I will keep everyone updated on here. I am hoping to get my next procedure done tomorrow.
Love, E

Oh my gosh, Elizabeth! That is crazy. We will be praying for you! That's kind of scary that this could happen from vitamins that are supposed to take care of your baby.
When I saw the title of your post, I thought you were going to say you were pregnant. haha.
