A Bouncing Baby Stone!!

So, back in April Kasey came home one day not feeling well, and we ended up in the hospital where he had his appendix out. While they were figuring out what was wrong with him they found out that he had three kidney stones, so the doctor told us that in about three weeks he should go talk to a Urologist about the stones. Well, two weeks after his surgery he started having lots of pain again, so we went back to the ER and found out that one of the stones (the largest one of course!) had started to pass. After a hospital stay in Chicago, Kasey finally had a procedure done to break up the stone, and this is the largest fragment that he passed. It doesn't look very impressive here, but he reminds me all the time that SOME people think passing a kidney stone is worse than giving birth. I'm still not so sure.....


It's hard to tell in the picture, but a few of these fragments are 3-4 cm. The whole stone was 7 cm long and about 4 or 5 cm wide.
This is on Father's Day. Kasey broke out his "World's Greatest Dad" t-shirt just for the occasion. He doesn't like to brag, but he'll wear it if necessary!!

Happy Father's Day to the World's Greatest Dad - at least in our minds!!
