Ammon Update from Jess

Here's how it all went down. Kaitlin returned home from wherever high-school-aged girls go at night. The house was empty and she found a note saying, "We are on our way to Primary Children's with Ammon to the ER." That was around 8pm, I think.

Close to 10pm, Kaitlin posted a Facebook status update saying, "Will everyone who knows my little brother please pray for him. He is back up at the Hospital in the ER. I came home from dance and there was a note from my mom saying that he was pretty sick so they took him back up to Primary Children's Medical Center."

Lance called Kaitlin soon thereafter to get any info, but she didn't have any. Lance called me to see if I knew anything. I hadn't heard anything because I'm not addicted to Facebook. Ahem. (Jen may say otherwise.)

I called Kaitlin to see how she was doing. We had a good conversation about her boyfriend Joe Mohrman. I'm not kidding. That's his name. Awesome, huh? They aren't really a couple, but they have gone on a date. No kisses. No hand holding. No arm licking.

I then called PCMC and got a hold of Dad around 10:45pm. They were still in the ER. Apparently Ammon's urine isn't going to its proper channels. They've cathed him multiple times today and only collected about 30 cc of urine whereas they're supposed to get half a pint. Dad said Ammon was getting distended and was pretty sick. Dad speculated that there's a break somewhere in the urinary system that is leaking urine out into cavities it's not supposed to be in.

When I talked to him, they hadn't done any tests and only one doctor had looked at Ammon. Looks like it will be a long night. To get a hold of them, I just called the front desk at PCMC (801-662-1000 -- that's from memory, so I hope it's right) and asked for Ammon Clark. They transferred me to the right area.

So sounds like Ammon had a worse day than me yesterday. Sorry bout that buddy! I had no idea any of this was going on. Keep us posted if anyone gets news.

See Ammon's blog for the little I know right now.
Adrianne, I'm not trying to ignore you - I just wasn't home to call like I promised.
Keep the Ammester bud in your prayers. He needs them.
Mom

I don't think I want to know what you and Jen did when you were dating, Jess. Arm licking!!!

We love you Ammon, and we are praying for you.
