The Up and Down of Our Weekend (*Update*)

We had quite an up and down of the weekend. On Thanksgiving, my parents offered to watch Briana for the whole day on Saturday. Doug and I needed a day off by ourselves - we have been pretty dang tired between the China trip, sickness and just learning to be new parents of a very, very active one year old. We dropped Briana off in the morning, and we went to get the oil changed in my car at the Infiniti dealership (I have an I-30) and decided to test drive a FX35. Sweet car! Then we ate at PF Changs - yummy! We did a little shopping, relaxed and then ate dinner at Henry's. Unbelievably delicious! I did order gumbo that was really good but just about burned my lips off, but the cheese fondue we ordered was to die for! We went to pick up Miss Briana that evening, and she had the best day with grandma and grandpa. I am not sure if she even missed us - ha, ha!

Then Sunday came...Doug woke up about 7AM with a kidney stone. He was in excruciating pain and needed to go to the emergency room. The baby was just about to wake up and I knew I had to get her fed and dressed before I could drive him there. So, I called my parents. Once again, they came to the rescue! My dad flew over to the house and picked up Doug to take him to the hospital so I could watch the baby. Once Doug got to the ER and got an IV, the pain started to subside. I can just imagine Doug and my dad male bonding at the hospital, LOL! Anyway, they got back home about noon, and my mom had come over in the meantime so I could go out and get Doug's prescriptions filled quickly when they got back. Doug came home VERY groggy and slept the whole afternoon away. My parents went back home around 1:30PM. Doug hasn't had any more pain, so we think the worst is over - we hope. I have to thank my parents once again for saving us! And I was supposed to see Kathy and friends for some pottery making, but I had to miss it. I am so sad!

So, that was the up and down of our weekend. Isn't that crazy?

**Update** Doug is still feeling some pain (started around 5 this morning), so the stone isn't gone yet. Thank goodness for Percocet...
