Sarah is at St. Francis in Monroe, LA. We have been there since very early Sunday morning. As Mrs. Laura said in her previous post, she has gallstones. Being 28 weeks pregnant they don't want to do the very routine procedure of removing her gallbladder until she has the baby. One of the main factors in contemplating surgery is her pain level and persistence. We thought we might be discharged today(Monday), but her pain flared back up. Right now she is perky and comfortable with some "drugs." We are taking it day to day, as to what we might want or need to do. Please pray for her health. My parents were good nurses and comfort yesterday and today and Mrs. Laura is currently here with Sarah in Monroe. "Little Guy" inside of Sarah is doing well. The nurses listen his heartbeat every couple of hours and it usually is very fast with frequent kicking being noticeable. We did get to see him in an ultrasound of her gallbladder. He was grabbing his ankle and moving all around.
Please continue to pray for Wisdom for us and the doctors. Peace to sleep and rest despite the temptation to worry and overthink. Also, pray for my father, Ted Richey, who is having abdominal surgery on Wednesday. The Lord is good and has been merciful to us in many ways known to us and many that we aren't aware.

I hope the response from someone that they had gallstones throughout a pregnancy and had them removed afterward will be an encouragement.
Prayer for her pain relief for Sarah is added to those for Andrew. Also for "Little Guy," who must be planning on athletics with that ankle routine!
Boy, there's not much room for added baggage during a pregnancy, and now gallstones!
Jarrod's dad Ted must be in the hospital now for his surgery. I pray for calm for him as well as good results from the surgery, with no complications. Our God is the Great Physician, and will have control over this procedure. Also I hope he has blessed pain control after surgery, with a quick recovery.
Jarrod,
Please give Sarah a hug for me and let her know that my family and I are praying for her as we do for Andrew.
