Who needs a gallbladder anyway?

So we had a crazy turn of events on Sunday in the wee hours of the night. Steve woke me and Dustin up complaining about a terrible stomach ache. He said he needed to go to the emergency room (totally not like steve to WANT to go to the Doctor, normally he only goes kicking and screaming) so we rushed him in to the E.R. The Doctor looked him over ran some tests and decided to hook him up to an IV with morphine. They kept him there all night then early Monday morning did an ultra sound where they discovered gal stones his blood tests showed a high white count (indicating infection). Then they rushed him into the OR to have his gallbladder removed - it was crazy how fast everything happened. He was in surgery by 11:50 that morning... finally he came out of surgery around 2:40 and then they put him in post op for an hour or so, then he went up to a room to recover a little longer and go through a round of antibiotics. He stayed and slept almost all day yesterday due to all the drugs in his system, then today he was feeling a little better. He was actually able to get up and walk around a little, I was so relieved. Now thankfully he is still in the hospital but I think he will be released tomorrow to come home and rest some more. Poor kid, crazy few days.
