My daughter, Tracy and family moved 4 hrs away after school was out in June. Tracy's Dr is still here. She had an appointmentlast week and she was also have stomach pains. He sent her for an Ultrasound and they found gall stones. She had an appoiintment Thursday for a HIDA scan. They found the gall bladder was not working. We saw the surgeon Friday and surgery was scheduled for 6 am today.

She has stayed since last Wednesday night, incase she got another bad attack, we could take her to the hospital. I have been cooking for her and we were careful what she ate. So we made it thru to the scheduled surgery time.

Her ..fiance ( I already call him son in law) drove over last night so he could be with her for surgery, and drive her home.

All went well,, the nasty gall bladder and offending stones are all gone. We got back home around 11:30 am, I got her settled in and she napped for awhile. She was feeling pretty good, and the surgeon said she could go home if she felt up to the ride. So they left around 3 pm today. She was doing well, walking around, had some crackers and gingerale. She has medication for nausea and pain.

I made chicken soup with white and wild rice, from the left over chicken from last nights dinner.

I am really Happy everything went so well. And a HUGE THANK YOU to all who kept her in their thoughts and sent up prayers.

I AM SOOOO tired.... I think the nights I was not sleeping soundly, incase she woke up with a bad gall bladder attack, As when mine hit it was around 3 am...

We had some great time together this week and even had a couple little outings.. some Christmas shopping and time just sitting and watching TV or working on some crafts. I know my grandson will be glad to have his mom back home, and her dogs too.

Tracy will be back in 3 weeks for her check up. And I will spend a few days.. resting.
