CT results are in. The gallstones and kidney stones do not appear to be significant enough to be causing Roxanne's pain, so they are going to run another test to determine if the gallbladder is functioning correctly or not. If that test comes back OK, then we'll presume the pain is a musculoskeletal injury sustained during the c-section or merely as a byproduct of her pregancy. If it is musculoskeletal, they'll send her home tonight or tomorrow on some sort of special diet.

Slight change in plans... The test that they want to run involves enough radiation that Roxanne would not be able to even hold Merrianna for several days. Since her blood counts look great and the gallstones do not appear to be causing any issues, we are going to skip the test (for now) and hope that it is merely a musculoskeletal issue that resolves itself in a few days.
