Rough day at the Rucker house



Well, it has been a rough 24+ hours at the Rucker house. I woke up yesterday still recovering from my mastitis and Brad was sick. He had a horrible pain in the lower right part of his abdomen. Everytime he stood up he felt like he was going to be sick. Later on in the day some fever came. I called my mom and she came and got Will.

We spent about 4 hours in the ER at Eastside last night. Originally it was thought to be his gallbladder. After his ultrasound proved normal, they changed thoughts to the appendix. Well, his cat scan and blood tests proved normal, too, so the doctor was stumped. He sent us home with pain meds and told us to see the doctor. So, Brad is going in at 2:30 today to see what his doctor thinks.

As happy as we are that it was not something requiring immediate surgery, we are wondering what could be causing this horrible pain and sickness. Keep our family in your prayers. All three boys are sleeping right now...Toby on top of Brad on the couch and Will in the chair (see picture). Maybe Mama needs a nap now, too. :)
