We are home from surgery!
We are now home from the surgery. Things went well enough that my son could be released the same day. He went in surgery at 8:45am and came out about 11:30am. The doctors removed his appendix, scar tissue and the crystallized part from the appendix rupture. Everything went well. He slept most of the day and ate at around 4:00pm, got up and walked around, etc. and so he was allowed to go home. He still has a lot of recovery this week, but he wanted to show them how much he wanted to go home. That’s my son for you! 
I need to monitor his pain, etc. for the rest of the week. He is allowed to swim in 4-5 days. THAT made him happy!
He is sleeping right now and seems comfortable. We are all relieved…especially ME! *whew
Thanks for your prayers and well wishes!

Hi Wendy,
Glad to hear all is well with your son and you! We all become one big family at a time like this, and it’s so nice to have friends to call on in difficult situations. Most importantly, it’s nice to know a God who cares and is interested in us (even in the little sparrow that falls) and He is able to hear our call in the hour of desperation.
Only a mother can truly understand how desperate that call can be when we nearly lose a loved one (I lost a darling son 5 years ago and know the pain of it). I’m really happy for you. Hope your son’s soon back swimming. God bless you both.

Make sure you get some rest yourself! Maybe in a few days all will be back to normal!
Blessings,
Paula

Fantastic news! I had my gall bladder removed a month ago and it’s taken a while to get my strength back! Yes you rest when he does - I’m sure this has been difficult and exhausting for you! Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your little fella.

Wendy & Mike,
I am so happy that everything went so well! What a tough little guy you have there! I hope his recovery goes as smoothly. Take care and bless you all!

As most of us have forgotten the pains of labor and surgeries past, so too will your son. My 12 year old daughter had to have calcifications in her ankle surgically removed 3 years ago and i just asked her if she remembers how painful it was and she said she remembers everything except how painful it really was. But, as mothers, we will always remember the look of pain in our babies’ eyes, that look from my daughter still grabs at the pit of my stomach and it probably always will. My heart goes out to you. please make sure that when you have the opportunity to relax and get some rest, to take it. you must also take care of yourself!!! XOXOXOX Denise

Glad to hear he is doing well. Nothing so difficult as to have our young one’s suffer. God has answered our prayers and has blessed you him with health and healing.

Hi, Wendy! I am so glad to hear that your son is doing so well!!! I hope that his recovery will go smoothly and that he will bounce back real soon–as do most kids. Please, give him a kiss for us and let him know that we will keep on praying for his full recovery. Take care.
Aloha,

Im glad to hear all went well. I had my fourth surgery for the year this past month. It is no fun and staying at the Hospital is the worst. Very happy he didn’t have to deal with that. My prayers are with your family and son. Hope he heals fast and safe.
