At about 3:42 PM on Friday, December 21st, Mindy went to the emergency room with severe pains in her lower right back and abdomen. We suspected kidney stones, but were not certain. After some grueling pain, very strong pain medication, and one catscan later, it was determined that Mindy did, indeed, have a fairly large kidney stone (about 5 mm by 7 mm). She was sent home with lots of pain medication and a pee strainer, in hopes that the stone would pass on its own. Well, after many strains of the pee, we are proud to announce the arrival of the kidney stone at 6:32 AM, Sunday December 23rd. Mindy and stone are doing well. We truly consider this little gem to be an early Christmas gift. For those of you who have never had the opportunity to pass one of these for yourself (consider yourself lucky) we have attached a picture for your viewing pleasure. Merry Christmas, everyone!

Are you kidding me??!! We want to know what is worse, kidney stone or childbirth? What a trooper... Merry Christmas!
Whoa...I am glad that everything is OK. WE hope to see you this week! Merry 'Christmas
Ew. Yeah. That does not look fun! Wow, I'm happy for you. I'd say that little one takes after Josh, but I haven't seen you guys in a while. :) Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Poor Mindy! I hope she (and the stone) were able to enjoy a lovely Christmas. And I hope the rest of the family had a nice time as well. Ugh. That is one thing I hope to never experience.
Very vivid photo, by the way.
Hey Mindy. It's Adam and Erin Wilkes from the good ole BYU 9th ward. It's good to see you in the blogging world. I can't believe you have 3 kids...they are adorable. Hope you guys are doing well!
