Appendicitis

Poor Cody! About 2 weeks ago I met him for lunch and he said he was starting to get a stomach ache. Later that evening he said is was starting to localize in his right side. Oh no I know what that means! But he didn't want to go to the hospital quite yet, lets see how I feel in the morning he said. So the next morning he wasn't feeling any better so I called the Dr. They couldn't see him til that afternoon. So we went to the Dr. and sure enough appendicitis it is! His Dr. called the surgeon and said "Hey I got a kid over here with appendicitis, you interested?" He sent us over to the hospital and the surgeon said lets head into surgery! It all happened so quick! So he had his appendix taken out that evening. They ended up keeping him overnight since it was so late. It has taken awhile but thankfully he is on the mend! What an experience though! We were told that 8 in 100 will have appendicitis! And I had mine out about 8 years ago! It was the first time Cody had ever had an IV, been admitted to the Hospital, been put under and had surgery! Way to go big!
