At about 3:42 PM on Friday, December 21st, Mindy went to the emergency room with severe pains in her lower right back and abdomen. We suspected kidney stones, but were not certain. After some grueling pain, very strong pain medication, and one catscan later, it was determined that Mindy did, indeed, have a fairly large kidney stone (about 5 mm by 7 mm). She was sent home with lots of pain medication and a pee strainer, in hopes that the stone would pass on its own. Well, after many strains of the pee, we are proud to announce the arrival of the kidney stone at 6:32 AM, Sunday December 23rd. Mindy and stone are doing well. We truly consider this little gem to be an early Christmas gift. For those of you who have never had the opportunity to pass one of these for yourself (consider yourself lucky) we have attached a picture for your viewing pleasure. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Holy Cow!!!!! Congrats on the new addition to the family! That's impressive!
That was such a funny twist on what seems to be a very painful experience. You had me chuckling out loud!
Glad it passed on it's own (who does it get it's independence from?).
Love ya!
