Not quite the adoption day we had planned

We had been anxiously awaiting September 1st for many months. It was to be Graham's big day, the day he was to officially become a Viner! However, at around 12am that morning, I heard him come down the stairs and to the bathroom.  This may not sound unusual but Graham is a nearly nightly bedwetter. He NEVER gets up to pee! I went in to check on him and found him doubled over on the toilet. He said his belly hurt.  He tried to pee but was only able to squeeze out a couple drops. I began to suspect a UTI or even stones. He laid on the couch, writhing in pain and then the vomitting started. Now I also feared appendicitis. I called Billy who was... you guessed it... at work!! He said to head to the hospital.
At the hospital, after some pain and anti-nausia meds, a CT scan showed 2 large kidney stones, too big to pass. Graham would have to have them broken up by laser. The urologist was ready but was unable to find an anesthesiologist willing to anesthetize him with his heart history. Now 5am, we were headed to UK in Lexington. I had to keep slapping my face to stay awake.
At 8:30am, I called our attorney to let him know that Graham and I would not be in court and to ask if Billy could go before the judge without us. He said that the child had to be there and that the judge can be a stickler. We'd have to reschedule. I managed to maintain composure and told him we could not wait for another court date, as our immigration packet was due in London, England the following week.  Doubtful, our attorney agreed to meet Billy at the courthouse to see what the judge would do.  I urged Billy to go ahead and bring the rest of the kids. They had been so looking forward to going to court as a family and officially welcoming Graham as their legal brother. So at 1pm, as Billy and the rest of the children were in the courtroom watching the judge sign the adoption judgement, Graham was in the OR having his kidney stones blasted and getting circumcised!!
Graham did great!! Such a trooper! He and I got home Wednesday night while the rest of the family were at church. They were so happy to see him when they got home. After a hug from Brylie, Graham proudly asked, "Wanna see my weiner?!?"  Needless to say, we had a discussion about what's appropriate to talk about at school.
