2:05 p.m. - Today wasn't the day I anticipated. Last night I got a call from Aunt Mary, who told me that mom was really sick and having pains in her back. She said I needed to take her to the emergency room, so about 9 p.m. last night, that's what I did. We went to Genesis in Silvis because that's where she wanted to go, and we didn't check out of the emergency room until about 10 this morning. It was a long night of sitting in an uncomfortable old chair trying to get a little sleep now and then between nurse visits and dumb alarms going off. In the end, I don't think they really know what is going on. They said she had elevated enzymes in her liver, but they also said they couldn't find a gall bladder in their CT scan. Apparently it's possible to be born without a gall bladder and not realize it, but very rare. So their diagnosis was some type of blockage in the bile duct between the liver and the intestines. I'm not saying they are wrong because I'm not a doctor, but I'm skeptical. Mom is feeling better, and she is supposed to follow up with a doctor on Monday for GI purposes. I just need to make sure she is eating. One of the stories last night she told me was that her mom, Grandma Sara, had an episode with gall bladder problems and just didn't eat, and that went on for awhile until she finally had it removed.
So now I'm back home after getting some sleep, and it wasn't the best day for me to be gone from ICE. They told me they had it all under control, and they likely do. I'm sure, though, that I will be receiving more work for me when I return. I think today, I'm just going to relax, and I may go get Amber's bike over in Bettendorf.
