Drew, I hope they can find some way to get rid of your gallstones without removing your gallbladder. Perhaps ultrasonic?
The problem is that there is a very high probability of recurrence if he doesn't have the surgery, so the doctor thinks it needs to be done. Luckily they do it laparoscopically in an outpatient procedure now (which blows my mind), so the surgery itself shouldn't be too bad. I'm sure the recovery won't be fun, but much better than the old way.
Sounds good Barb! Is your profile address good?
Yeppers!
Drew, mom had her gallbladder out last year and it really was a quick recovery. I hope you don't have any recurrence of the pain before you can get it done.
So Em was coughing in her bed for about 10 minutes. Dry cough. Then she threw up. She has no fever and no other symptoms. It was just probably the coughing too hard that triggered the vomiting, right? It's not Legionnaire's Disease or the other scary shit that Dr. Google popped up, right?
I'm not a mom so not qualified to give advice but I'm pretty sure if there's no fever you don't need to panic. {{{Aims & Em}}}
Any other symptoms? Because lots of cough can easily equal puke. Especially in kids.
Alternately, if there are several other hard-to-miss symptoms, puking while coughing can also equal whooping cough. Which this is NOT.
Windsparrow, I took no offense at your post; my experience has been similar to yours. I realize that generalizations are unfair, but so is running across a disproportionate percentage of unhelpful doctors. So let's celebrate the good ones, and encourage the others along paths to medical enlightenment. If such encouragement requires assertiveness on one's own behalf in the face of the some medical practicioners' predisposition to omniscience, well. It is what it is.
It is probably just stomach muscles spasming from all the coughing--I do it myself if I'm not careful. Lowering the temperature in her room overnight might help. I get my worst bouts when I'm in an overheated room.
Aimee, Ellie puked twice last night and hasn't felt great today but her only other symptom has been a cough. Maybe something is going around?
