Poor Tyson.....

For those of you who wonder where the heck I've been....well......the hospital and doctors offices mostly. For the past 3 weekends we have been in the hospital for Tyson. The first weekend we went in cause we thought he was having a kidney stone. He was peeing blood and in complete agony. So he spend the night in the hopsital with morphine and thought it was over. Well then on the next Thursday he started peeing blood again, and we thought...another kidney stone. So into the hospital again where he gets a CAT scan. Come to find it's not kidney stones, but his kidney is bleeding and there is a clot in it not allowing the blood to drain out, so his kidney is starting to swell up with blood, causing lots of pain. They first thought it was a tumor, which scared us to death. They couldn't tell what was causing the bleeding so the following Tues. we went back to the hospital for a cystoscopy (SP?). They went in and discovered the bleeding had stopped but still didn't know what had caused it. SO FRUSTRATING!!!!! So they sent us home, with Tyson still in sooooo much pain. This past weekend he was STILL in a LOT of pain so we had to go back to get stronger medicine (hence morphine). He is still in a lot of pain and completly doped up on loads of pain medicine. AND WE STILL HAVE NO ANSWERS!!! We go see the urologists AGAIN tomorrow, and hopefully get some answers.

OMG, that is so scary. I hope that he starts feeling better and you guys find out what the problem is. You'll have to tell me more when you get here. Dallin is so excited to see Nash!! He keeps asking when you are gonna get here.

Melanie...if you are still not getting answers...get in the car and drive to Salt Lake! Have Tyson (or you could too) call my dad. He will know exactly who is the best to see and would also know who to talk to if he needed help getting in. I'm serious...this is not something you want to wait around and just see what happens. If you need my dad's number email me at la_hansen2001[at]yahoo[dot]com.

The big whimp! I agree with Leslie you need to go see some real doctors in SL, not the pretend ones in Rexburg. They don't seem to know or care.
