Josh and I went and met with the surgeon this morning. She basically said that at this point if I can tolerate the "attacks" it would be better to just deal with them, then deal with the risks of surgery. I'm okay with this since recovery would be about two weeks, meaning I would use all of my sick days right at the beginning of the year.
She said she can't guarantee it is the gallbladder, although many symptoms point in that direction, as well as the gallstone. She mentioned it could be a muscular/skeletal thing from holding Jaymeson wrong, sleeping funny, etc. So, we'll see what happens. If things continue and I feel like I can't deal with them anymore then they'll take it out...it is pretty much my call.
On a family note, Jaymeson is getting her third tooth. It is on the bottom left-side. She seems to be getting over her ear infection as well, which is great. We tried to go to family night at the pool on Sunday, but some kid tossed his cookies before we could even get our feet wet, so they closed the pool and sent us home with some passes (note: pool closes Aug. 24th, passes given Aug. 18th...not a huge time frame). We're going to try again this afternoon, but seem to always go when there are "accidents" in the pool.
Ellie is very excited for Friday when we get to go to Sesame Street Live! at the La Crosse Center. Josh and I are going on the Island Girl on Thursday as part of his new teacher orientation stuff, so that will be fun. Josh heads back for school stuff Thursday and Friday this week, and we both officially start Wed. next week. My teaming partner, Katie, and I were asked to mentor the new 5th grade teacher, so we're pretty excited about that. Other than that...not much going on!
