Kidney Stone

Jennifer spent most of the day in the hospital yesterday.  She had a kidney stone in her left kidney.  The doctors believe that is was a result of being pregnant.  She should not have anymore until she is pregnant again, and even then it is unlikely.   


She went to the hospital to receive a procedure called Lithotripsy.  They used shock waves to break the stone into smaller pieces, so that it can pass on its own.   


Jennifer has to be put to sleep for the procedure.  This is the first IV that she has ever had.  
Everything went well and she was back to her normal routine later that same day.

Poor Jennifer :( that is not fun but I'm glad you could get it broken up! Hopefully the IV wasn't too bad.
