Thats No Moon...It's A Kidney Stone

For anyone who hasn't heard, it has been an interesting week for Helene and I. Helene was admitted to the hospital on Monday night with bad back pains and some other nastiness. The good news..the baby is fine. The bad news...Helene has a 2 centimeter kidney stone and they don't want to remove it till after the baby is here. Any procedures to take it out are risky for the baby. So that leaves Helene on percocet for the rest of the pregnancy. This also means no driving, for some reason they don't really like people driving on narcotics, and work is an unknown. She is, at least, not on bed rest.

Thanks to everyone who has given us love and support over the last week. Oh, one other thing you may not have heard...

The baby's name is Sean Patrick McLaughlin.
