Keeping things interesting!

Kevin managed to keep things interesting--last Wednesday night he complained of not feeling well. I thought he was coming down with the flu. Well, from 6:00 pm (eating supper) to 10:00 pm things got a lot worse. I had gone to sleep with Nat because I didn't want to catch what he had and he called for me about 10:00. I took him in to the hospital--first thought it was a kidney stone, but after a urine speciman, blood work, x-ray and CT scan, they determined at 2:00 AM that he needed his appendix out. Things moved fast after that! They took him in for surgery at 3:00 AM and brought him back to the room at 4:30 AM--I went home about 5:30 since he was doing fine and sleeping--got about an hour of sleep and got the girls up at 6:30 to get ready for school. They couldn't believe all that happened while they were sleeping--thanks to neighbor Marlys for checking on them. We stopped so the girls could see dad before they went to school. When I returned to the hospital about 9:00 he said he was ready to go home--the nurse told him he needed to do 3 things: pee, walk and eat. Well, he got right on that! Had to wait to eat until 11:30 when they brought his lunch. By 1:30 we were checking out of the hospital and by 2:00 we were home! Since then, he has been doing great! NO PAIN what so ever!! Sure glad it all turned out that way!

  1. I heard about Kevin! What a blessing though that he recovered so fast!!! I found your blog through the sisters blog - what a great way to stay in touch. I also created one this morning but it needs a lot of work yet. I didn't have a lot of time. brucevanbeek.blogspot.com Not too interesting right now though. Are you still reading the yada yada sisters books? I got the two of the second series for Christmas and loved them! I also read the yada yada brothers novel which I found at the library - it coincides with the second series of yada yada sisters - Harry Bentley's second chance which was very good also.
