When will all this insanity / maddness ever end?

So figured I would give a quick update since Trent's Lithotripsy. He had 1 stone in left kidney, 1 stone in the right kidney, and 1 in the right uretur. They do not cause any problems while in the kidney therefore during the Lithotripsy they targeted only the right ureter stone as hard as they could. Today Trent woke up with SEVERE PAIN in his LEFT SIDE and BLOOD in his URINE. 2 things bad about this. 1) Pain on left side and not right 2) doctor said should see blood in urine for 24 hours after procedure than it should pretty much stop and if it starts back to where you can actually see it, to call him immediately. We called Dr. Khim office the Urologist and he was not in today due to him being in surgeries all day therefore they told us to go to the ER. We kinda feel like the ER was a lost cause however we did find out there is high amounts of blood in the urine and they done a xray and some blood work to check for infectoin and also gave him pain meds and fluids via IV. Anyways, the ER doctor could not tell much by the xray however said their was definately blood in the urine with no kidney infections and the Urologist would be able to take a better look at the xray on Wednesday when he follows up with Trent then. Said Dr. Khim the urologist would be able to see it better and more clear than he would since the Urologist is used to looking at stones on an xray. We are thinking the pain on the left side is due to the stone in the LEFT KIDNEY coming loose and he is actually trying to pass yet ANOTHER STONE. I just feel so bad for him but really there is not much we can do until following up with Dr. Khim on Wednesday. We are just wondering when everything is gonna slow down and he is gonna start feeling better. Trent did get approved off of work as long as noone on his shift gets sick so we are supposed to be leaving for Gatlinburg next Saturday. Hopefully we can get him fully recovered and actully get to go. We need to go the land of FAR FAR AWAY for a while.
