Grandpa Pritchard Visits!

This week Grandpa Pritchard is visiting.  He was visiting some of his cousins in Ohio, so he decided to come visit us too.  I was great having him around.  My parents gift to me for my birthday was money to get a manicure and pedicure, while my Dad watched the little ones.  So, that is what I did.  It was great to have a sitter and get away.  He also babysat while Dennis and I went out to dinner for my birthday Thursday night.  We had an amazing dinner at a restaurant called Recess.

He was supposed to babysit during Evan's field trip Thursday.  I was looking forward to going, but soon after I got to the school they decided to cancel due to the rainy weather.  So, Grandpa watched Leah, while I went ahead and picked up Logan and took him to story time at the book store.

The week wasn't perfect though, Tuesday night I was having a lot of stomach and back pain, I tried to sleep but after a couple hours of not being able to, I woke up Dennis after midnight to tell him I was going to drive myself to the ER.  Long story short, they did a CT scan and discovered I had a very large kidney stone causing a blockage.  Apparently, it had been there a long time!

Wednesday morning, I had to follow up with a urologist.  He did X-rays and said that I would need surgery to remove it.  He also was shocked at how long it had been around and kept saying how tough I was.  Anyway, surgery is set for next Wednesday.  Sadly, that means I won't be able to go Evan's field trip that was also rescheduled for Wednesday.
