    Default help!

    Ok, so John seems to be getting worse. Swollen and sore testicles and dark brown/orange cloudy urine. Is this normal? Should we go back to chapel hill? I'm so confused.

    Oh Steph, that is not normal at all and is an emergency. When the urine is dark like that and the testicles are sore and swollen this is an emergency that cannot be put off. You have to go to an ER right away. And if possible Chapel Hill and let them know you are coming and why.

    wow, that sounds really serious. I might go straight to the local ER rather than take the three hour trip...especially if he's crying from pain. Good luck!

    We are now at chapel hill. The local hospital told us there was a 4 hour wait. Its a 3hour drive to chapel hill. His oxygen levels are low as well. Checked in and waiting to be seen.
