Okay finally home, it was a 6 hour ordeal! Once we finally got in things went fairly quickly, but she had to have blood work, see the doc and then get the ultrasound and then have that sent to a radiologist to look at the results.
The final result? They don't know what's wrong with her. It does not appear to be appendicitis, but the only conclusive way is to get a CT scan which is terrible for you and is very expensive. So after the rest of the tests looked okay we decided that she probably wouldn't die tonight and we'd evaluate her pain over the next day or two and if necessary get the CT scan.
Thanks a lot for the warm wishes and kind thoughts. She knows I spend a fair amount of time here, but didn't realize some of us know each other pretty damn well.
Catch you guys some time tomorrow.
