Update

Things weren't getting any better so we went to A & E and- after various tests- they admitted her. She's now on a surgical assessment ward. Later this morning she's going for ultrasound. As she understands it, they're planning to give the antibiotics time to do their work and, they don't they'll take her into surgery and whip the gall bladder out.

We're normally together 24/7. It's odd not to have her here. I'm finding lots of little jobs to do to keep me busy until this afternoon- when I get to visit.

Here, the "standard" for when you can send someone home is whether they can have a movement on their own, or, depending, on whether they have been able to fart. I was anxious to get out of the hospital (no insurance) so I did my Reentry To The World of Pooping on my own. I don't think I'd choose to do that again--I had absolutely no control at first, which is the newborn thing. And no intimation that it was going to happen AT THAT MOMENT. But after the first day, things were much better. So, while I know you miss her terribly, staying in the hospital longer is better, to make sure that everything's working right.
