So when I got home from dropping them off (which only took 30 minutes or less) he was a gross sweaty, throwing up mess. I loaded us up into the van and we immediately went to the ER. Totally worth it! The admitting nurse when she looked at D said 'you certainly have the kidney stone look!' They gave him some mega-drugs and suddenly the pain seemed to almost disappear. They did a scan and it seemed like there was only the one stone - hooray! And we learned that the super painful part of a kidney stone is the journey from the kidney to the bladder which is the passing part. Not the passing from the body. Interesting.
The hospital did wash the stone and sent it home with us.
I tried to take a picture of D in the waiting room of the ER - it is an awful picture but it summarizes the pain and pacing that was going on.
Taking his vitals before the drugs!
And it is out! D swears that it felt like it was 10 times that size.
