the past 3+ weeks has been about taking care of the babies, this week its about taking care of mommy. Jen has been having some internal pains that we kinda contributed to her insides returning to their pre-baby spots, but come Thursday night, her discomfort was bad enough for a trip to the E.R. The doctors there ran blood work and utrasounds and came up with….. gallstones. Interesting. After reading more about it and talking with the doctors about it, it seems that pregnancy can trigger the gallbladder to not clear out like its supposed to. And the stones trying to be passed was what was giving her the discomfort.
Jen had a dr appt friday am and her dr said back to the hospital she goes. So we’re here, and they wanted 2 procedures for her. One to check out the bile ducts, and the other actual gallbladder removal. Procedure 1 just finished and her dr was very happy w/ the results and how it went, really encouraging. Tomorrow is the gallbladder surgery. Jen seemed to be more worried about the first procedure since 2 family members had gallbladder removal w/ no issues. Now that her procedure is done, and our comfort in her dr tomorrow with having done THOUSANDS of gallbladder removals, she will hopefully be on the road to full recovery, and back to no sleep with the kids at home 
Thanks grandma and grandpa for all your help and for watching the kids while we’re here!!!
