UGH


Someone in my house did not have a very good day today.


One of my kids got their first ambulance ride today. The intense pain required pain meds and a trip to the mainland for a CT scan. Kidney stones aren't common in teenagers, so the doctor felt a scan was important to determine if that was the issue. Turns out it was...

We're thankful Mackinac Island has a topnotch EMS service and a medical center to handle things like this. 

Edited to add: my kiddo is fine. At least part of the stone has passed, the pain has subsided, and hopefully with increased hydration this will not continue to be an issue.
