Scare

Well, Friday was a "fun" day. Emily was experiencing some abdominal pains on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, they got even worse - "cramping so bad I can't move!" So, just to get a dose of reassurance that the pains were "normal", I called the doctor's office - just to let them know what was going on and for them to say it was no big deal - right? WRONG! The nurse that answered the phone freaked out and started saying things like "doctor on call" and "emergency room" and "why didn't you call sooner???" So, naturally, this "no big deal" issue actually became something tragic and terrifying.

Of course, as soon as the doctor came in, Emily told of this "slightly annoying little pain in my abdomen" (notice - no mention of cramps nor dehabilitating pain). Anyway, after a little discussion and evaluation, it turned out to just be some circular tendon strain, which is totally normal, and everything is okay.

We go to the doctor again today for a regular check up and maybe some blood tests... Will write again to update afterward.
