Prayers requested. My husband appears to be trying to pass a kidney stone and it is making him very sick.

Thank you!
Let us pray together.

Lord, we heard:

“that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.””
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭8:17‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Lord Jesus, we stand in what we have heard, that You took Michie’s husband infirmities and bore his diseases. Lord, we believe that You healed Michie’s husband who was sick.
Thank You, Lord, for Your goodness.
Amen.

Continuing in prayer of agreement Michie. I pray both of you will be comforted and y'all will get to go back home soon.

Kidney pain is the worst. I'd take the pain from bowel surgery again over kidney pain. Like your husband, I vomited too. My father has had some kidney stones; one he couldn't pass and they had to retrieve. My mother was a wreck watching him in that agony. Extending prayers to you. I know what both you and him are going through.

He was in pain, vomiting, trembling. Very uncomfortable. We found out he does have a very large kidney stone that’s obstructing his urine. There is a lot of blood in it. It’s very large so they have doubts he will be able to pass it. It’s like 7.4 in size and anything over 5 is very difficult to pass. So they are going to give him some flomax to help and pain and anti nausea medication. We need to call the urologist Monday because they think he may need to get a stent put in or get it busted up with sound waves.

My father has had both: a stent and the sound-waves. I'm surprised they're not going to remove it while you're there. Is the stone at the base of the kidney or is it in the ureter? I would be leery about getting sent home with a 7.4 mm stone that's obstructing his urine flow. Did they say specifically why they won't take him down to the O.R. to get it removed or a stent put in?

Because my husband wants his urologist to do it. It’s in the UVJ the narrowest part of the ureter before it gets to the bladder.

Eh. I understand him being comfortable with his urologist, but they're not sending him home, right? If it's in the narrowest part, he should be admitted and then the hospital can consult his urologist tomorrow? At least if he's in the hospital if things turn bad, he's there, prepped and ready to go for surgery at any moment.

No he’s home. I trust the doctor’s decision at this point. He is getting more urine out than he was.

Okay, glad to know he's doing better. I've just had enough bad experiences that would make me nervous!! Power in prayer! Is his pain better, too?

Yeah he is on some pretty heavy duty pain medication. The Flomax is helping with urination. He is on antibiotics and anti nausea medication as well. They are just trying to get him through until he can get to his urologist. Thanks for the prayers! :)

Hi Michie. I know this isn't the "advice" forum, but I have had several kidney stones, one that had to be surgically removed. It is no fun, but it all works out. I think you are doing the right things, the only suggestion I would add is to ask your urologist about Ketorolac. I was on pain medication and it no way could control the pain. Then I had a urologist give me a shot of Ketorolac and it was very effective. They then prescribed it in 10mg pill form. It worked very well for me and I now never go anywhere without it. Just a thought, keep praying and listen to your doctors.

I'm just now seeing this and I'm definitely praying!

My son had a similar occurrence, except both of his kidneys were completely blocked, they did emergency surgery when that occurred.

Stents aren't great, but they aren't bad either. Anything that helps and they only stay in a few days...

Hopefully they can take care of your dear husband... It's just horrible to hear.
