The doctors who tended him in the ER couldn't do anything surgical to dissolve the stone because it is too small, so he has to wait until it works it's way out.

Ouch.

He wanted to have my family over for dinner anyway and he did really well most of the day. We've decided to postpone the trip to SC, though. Turns out that was a good decision even though we'd though he passed the stone. Especially now that we know he didn't. There's no way he'd be able to drive like this. He can barely move. I keep checking on him and wanting to do something to help him with his pain but he tells me there's nothing I can do.
