Not an April Fool's Day.

In the morning I was parking my car at my office when my wife called with intense pain. We were worried that there was something wrong with the baby and I raced back home and rushed her to the hospital.

After a few hours there and several tests, we were informed that the baby was fine. The doctors were thinking maybe it was something she ate that gave her some indigestion. They couldn't find anything else that may be wrong so they released her and we went back home.


At 6:00 pm she experienced the pain again. We called her obstetrician and raced to the hospital. We waited for an hour before getting called into a room for examination. The doctor on call spoke with her OB/Gyn and they agreed that it appears she may be experiencing the pain of gall stones.

We waited for the radiology department to come get her to give her a sonogram on her gall bladder. We waited and waited. Her doctor gave up waiting and get a sonogram machine to take a look herself. She was able to determine that the gall bladder was inflamed, but could not determine any gall stones. Her appointment with radiology would have to wait until Friday. She was admitted to the hospital.
