Guys, we really need your good thoughts...(update page 3)

[babar]

I had to leave work today to get home and take Micky (boyfriend) to the ER. He has a kidney stone that is 8 mm which is really big, and now his kidneys are swelling and not functioning right. They admitted him to the hospital to undergo some type of procedure tomorrow.

I know this isn't a huge deal compared to other things, but i'm nervous, I never saw him like this before.

And I've also haven't spent a night away from him in 6 years, so this will be a little weird too.

Any good thoughts you have will be appreciated.
thanks,
andrea

I hope your boyfriend starts feeling better soon.

My Dad had lithotripsy(shockwaves to pulverize the stone) done last week. He had a large stone that was not passable and was in alot of pain. The procedure wasnt painful at all and he is feeling much better. So, if your boyfriend is having that procedure, its not painful.

Is the procedure the one where they will zap it so that it breaks up the stones???? Hopefully if it's that big!!!!

Oh, I wish him the best. I had a very large stone that had to be removed by cystoscope. You are under general anesthesia and they have to place a stint for a few days afterward - awful. They will probably put him on heavy antibiotics for infection.

I was told lithotripsy was not an option because of the size of stone - I could end up with several more still good size stones. 8 mm sounds huge.

DH also had stones and it was very painful for him - his was teeny, tiny and caused extreme pain.

 

[Saffron]

I am sending him my best wishes that he will be up and feeling much better soon. I'll be thinking about him.

 

[Kermit]

Prayers for both of you. He will be fine, but I understand that this is making both of you nervous. {{{Hugs}}}

 

[PamOKW]

Loved ones in pain is always hard. Lots of prayers and good thoughts for the both of you. They'll have him "right as rain" in no time.

I hope Micky is feeling better soon and that his procedure goes well. You are both in my thoughts {{hugs}}
