Here's how ya know your husband isn't listening to you.
Me- Did you hear me?
Ty- I love you too.
Me- OK. But, I said I was going to the bathroom.
Ty- Oh, well I still love you.
Silly me. I thought we were discussing our activities for this next week and obviously he wasn't paying much attention. Darn X-Box.

2 emergancy room visits, 2 weeks, and 1 birthday.
Well,Tyler's birthday week started out great but ended in pain. For Ty's 33rd birthday I took him out to the "Body Worlds" exhibit. It was very fascinating and really cool to look at. I can honestly say I have never looked at the human body that way before and will never think of it the same again. After that we went to dinner at Texas Roadhouse Grill. All I can say is "Yummy!" The dinner was delicious and the entertainment was well, entertaining. But the icing on the cake was when the staff came over to Tyler to sing Happy birthday. Only they didn't sing, they brought over a saddle and made him sit on it and then at the top of their lungs they yell to everyone, "It's Tyler's birthday. Let's all give him a big roadhouse yee-haw!" 123-- "Yee-Haw!!" It was classic. Forget about the yummy steak dinner. Or the singing, line-dancing staff. Seeing Tyler raise his arm like he was roping a calf and yell yee-haw was priceless!!
Now onto the other part. On Saturday the 22nd Ty woke up in severe pain. I had a boutique that I was getting ready for when he came in the room saying he needed to go to the ER. What!! Of all the timing in the world. Not now, I had somewhere to be, the kids were still sleeping, and I needed him 100%. I would even settle for 85%. No luck. Now what do I do? I called a neighbor who took him to the ER. (thanks Eric)while I called my boutique partner and filled her in on this morning's development. I woke Kenzie up and told her what was going on and then, I left my 7 1/2 yr. old in charge of her brothers. Now, for all of you reading this, here is my disclaimer. I just went to my friends house to set up my "Sentsy" stuff and I could see my front door from her front window. And I had my cell phone on me, which Kenzie used several times while I was setting up. Everyone was fine.
Except my husband. He was having a kidney stone scrape along side his pee tube (sorry for lack proper wording) working it's way into his bladder. He had a cat scan done and there it was. In all it's sharp and jagged glory. Causing more pain than labor. Or so I've been told. Not ever experiencing a kidney stone that is. He even managed to make a joke. The doc told him that he's heard kidney stone pain is like labor pains. And Ty said, "then my wife and I are tied." Oh that's my man.
After a few hours he was given the OK to head home so I picked him up and we went to get his prescriptions filled. While waiting, we stopped at Subway. I kid you not, in the middle of ordering what veggies he wanted on his sandwich he fell asleep. His hand had been on the back of my headrest and he was playing with my hair when all of a sudden 'WHACK!' his hand slips and hits my head. Excuse me do you want pickles on your sub? As if that wasn't funny enough. He fell asleep again while chewing a bite of food. Truly one of the funniest things ever!
Then it was Sunday. Tyler's official birthday. Happy Birthday my lover!! I was a good wifey and made him roast and potatoes and corn. And he's not the biggest fan of cake so he got to blow out the candles on a delicious key lime pie. But the real gift was our late night trip to the emergency room. Once again the timing could have been a little better. The kids were sound asleep. I was almost asleep and here comes Tyler "Honey these drugs aren't working." The percoset were waring off every 2 hours. Sweet Danielle came over to sit with the kids at 11:30pm. And off Ty and I went to the ER. Flyin' high on IV. drugs the doc wanted to do a urine analysis to make sure there wasn't any infection. So drip bag after drip bag we waited. Finally the sweet nurse said, "Honey,all we need is like 7 drops." I about died. Come on Ty, even the nurse wanted us out of there. Finally success. And after several hours we found out there was no infection and he just needed a suped up form of Motrin for the inflammation. And off for home we went at 4am. The hardest part was crawling into bed at 4:30 and then hearing the alarm go off at 7 to get Kenzie up for school.
To finish off this blog Tyler still hasn't passed the stone but, it must be in his bladder because he's no longer in pain but it still hasn't come out. Good luck Tyler! Love ya!
