Hi angel friends, updates on Holly's health. Thank you for being here for us <3

Hi angel friends! :) i want to share a short journal. i've been thinking of you all often today. You all were with Holly and i in spirit. i was with Holly at the backus hospital here in our city. we've had a long day ,but are so glad to be home. we were at the hospital ER since about shortly after 10am. Holly is private person, which is why i haven't written about this health ailment she's having, in my journal, but she said it's ok for me to share. Holly's been having some stomach issues, and wasn't sure what it was. we were thinking gallbladder, or hernia. it's been affecting her for about a year,  but had gotten worse, since early december ,to the point where she couldn't eat solid foods without experiencing pain ,and discomfort.she's been trying to eat lots of soft foods. she called her dr. earlier this week, and they said, that she could be seen for an  ultra-sound on february 8th. Holly was having more severe pains ,tuesday night. she called the dr. yesterday ,and they suggested going to the ER. we went this morning. i wanted to be with Holly ,for support, and was also texting friends. Holly got a scan, and they found out she has some kidney stones that didn't pass, which is causing pain ,discomfort, inflammation. she got prescription for 3 meds, and also has a diet to follow. we're so glad, and  thankful she's gonna be ok, we all have been worried. my dad picked us up at the hospital, ER area ,at 5:30pm. we went to CVS, and they were issue with one of her meds costing a lot of money,and she tried to get the pharmacist there, to call her doctor at the hospital to see if her insurance covered it, or if she could get a generic version of it, i went into cvs with Holly,  it looked like it was gonna be a long wait, i walked outside to tell my dad ,he then went toward home ,i went back into cvs ,and Holly was able to get 2 of her meds, the 3rd med her doctor needs to get situated. i told Holly, i will gladly give her the money for the med, she's gonna  call dr. first thing tomorrow. my phone battery went down at the hospital, we got home fter 7pm,my mom and dad picked up Holly and i at cvs, it's raining, and cold.we're so glad, and thankful to be home. what a day! whew! it was a long day, just ate dinner, Holly having yogurt, she's gonna be a ok :) it's a relief, to us all knowing her condition can be treated :) Thank you all for being here for us, our dear angel friends <3 we love you all very much :) i'm gonna spend  time in my hugbook,messages :) Thank you all, for your warm well wishes, and prayers for Holly :) she got pain medicine at the hospital, and is a bit groggy, but is ok, and resting :) Tiger's very happy we're home :) we were at the hospital for about 7 hours,and almost 2 hours at cvs, it was wild in the ER, i was sitting there the entire time, many patients coming  in ,going out, i was sitting right up front ,i did well, texting helped me so much, Holly texted me from the hospital room ,i relayed the news to family ,friends ,it kept me busy. i had a couple coughing times in there, but brought water and cough drops, and wore my mask :) it's been a very long day, but am so thankful Holly is gonna be ok, she's gonna get the medicine situation situated, i told her, if she needs  the money ,i got it ,i just didn't bring that much with me when we went this morning ,but she needs that med, and is gonna  talk with dr. in morning. baking friday is definitely on for tomorrow too, a full adventure :) Thank you all again, our dear angel friends :) 


Wishing everyone a peaceful evening,and night :)

I am very glad Holly is going to be okay. It can certainly be very trying when you have to wait at the hospital and then at CVS. I just wish that access to affordable health care, including meds were easy and they didn't put you through the ringer. Hopefully things will be sorted out tomorrow. Sleep well, friend <3

I’m glad to hear that they found out what’s causing Hollys pain but sorry to hear that the one med that she needs was so expensive, I know some of my meds are really expensive too, hopefully they get that all straightened out but most of all I’m glad to hear that she will be OK as long as she takes her meds and follows her diet. Sorry that it was such a long day for both of you and I sincerely hope that you both got a good nights rest last night but especially Holly, will be keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.
if you do go through with your baking today I hope it goes well if not just get some rest
Lots of hugs Jeannie

Was very worried. Kidney stones are painful. I have never experienced but know friends who have. I hope with the meds they pass soon & she recovers fully. I can just imagine the ER. I remember taking Edgar & waiting a very long time.

Chris, you handled the situation really well. Good for you!

Prayers for a full recovery. Rest & follow her diet. Gentle hugs..... Brooke & Henri
