Bex started having some pretty severe abdominal pain. We were advised to take her in to the ER. She was vomiting and feeling terrible. They made the decision to transport us to Duke. We waited all night for transport but because the roads were so bad we were still waiting this morning. Thankfully, she started to feel so much better, and the team was ok with us going home and following back up with Duke. So now I am waiting to hear from them. Keep praying for Bex and for all of us.
