Stone Crazy

This year LLoyd had quite the run on kidney stones. He had two very big ones that were in much of attention. one was 2 cm and the other was 1 1/2 cms. After having to go to the Emergency Room almost every other weekend for awhile, we were referred to a doctor in Flagstaff. As big as these stones were, there was a danger of them "clogging up the works" and
causing tons of pain on the way. They were definitely moving and so it was all done as quickly as possible. The doctor was very young, but he did not waste much time to get us going with the surgeries. Only one stone at a time could be blasted so as not to do any damage to the kidneys. After about 4 trips to Flagstaff, and 3 surgeries, and lots of anxiety on Lloyds part, he is now stone free from these little buggers. Until the next stones are formed, we will enjoy life as normal.
