I have been having pain in my stomach for about a month. It would come and go. Also some days were worse than others. Then starting on September 11th which was a thursday until that saturday I was flat in bed. The pain was so bad that I couldn't even get out of bed. Everyone and Curt kept on trying to have me go to the Dr.'s or to the ER. I was being selfish and didn't want to go. Finally that Saturday night Curt took me to the ER. They ran a bunch of test, and did an ultrasound. Everything came back normal, but hello I was still in major pain. They sent me home with percocet, and told me to return the following morning for more testing. They did a "Hyda Scan" which shows the function of the gallbladder. That test was very painful to say the least. I felt like such a baby laying there for a hour and a half crying. Well sure enough the Radiologist said I have the most none functioning gallbladder he has ever seen! Wahoo not the award you want to win. Yep it works a whole 1.6%. So I came home to take the oh so lovely percocet, until a surgeon could get me in. Dr. Fullmer got me in the quickest. He was such a great Dr. really nice. So I had surgery on last thursday. Poor little Harper has been handed out to everyone. Atleast it has been family and he loves to be with them. It was just a same day surgery. I am feeling better with each passing day. Today is my first day to have Harper here with me, so wish me luck! I can't lift him yet, so that is a little difficult. Atleast he can almost get into the crib by himself.

Gallbladder
I just wanted to thank everyone that has helped me so much during this time. Especially my family, for loving Harp. Thanks for all of the wonderful meals, and for stopping by to see if I need anything. It is so nice to live in an area where everyone is so willing to help. Curt thanks for being so patient, and for taking over daddy and mommy roles. You are the best!
