Yesterday morning I woke up to extreme pain in my right side and very painful urination. I went along getting ready for class tolerating the pain. Once I got to class, the pain was becoming unbearable. So...wonderful Nathan took me to the hospital because there was no way I could have waited for my 1:45 apt later that day. My mom rushed down as well. When she got to the hospital we went to the ER. After some tests we discovered that I have a 2mm kidney stone. It is amazing that something so small can cause that much pain!!! They gave me some painkiller and nausea meds and sent me home to pass it on my own. The doctors say it will take 12-24 hrs. I am home now at my parents and it still hasn't passed. Once it reaches my bladder I will have no more pain (which happened last night before bed) so hopefully drinking lots of water will do it!!!
But...the amazing thing is.....so many kind, praying, caring people were with me! My mom definitely broke the law speeding down to Ames to be with me. Many of her coworkers were concerned and lots of my friends were praying and checking up on me. Not to mention how awesome Nathan is for rushing me to the hospital and holding my hand through the unbearable pain and tears on the way. Also, I am so thankful for insurance and for a great hospital!!! They took great care of me and soothed my fears by explaining all of the tests and how to take care of my kidney stone.
So the point of this post is that God really is faithful even during a pretty trying day!
I am so encouraged by your being able to see God's faithfulness through all of that! You have become such a Godly woman in the few years I've known you!
