Unexpected Surgery

Isaac woke up on Tuesday morning with a stomachache and some tears.  I told him I was sorry he didn't sleep well and rushed off to school.  Bruce asked Isaac if he thought he could go to school and he said he would try.  At lunch time I got a call that he wasn't feeling well.  Bruce picked him up and brought him home.  He slept for FOUR hours.  I made soup for dinner hoping he would eat but he did not. (He told me later he doesn't like chicken noodle soup even when he is hungry, lol)  After dinner, he was in such pain that he couldn't stand up straight.  We started to ask more specific questions about this "stomachache" and after hearing his answers thought we needed to take him to the ER.  The ER doctor confirmed our suspicions that he did indeed have appendicitis and scheduled us for surgery the next day.  

Surgery went well and so has recovery.  One week later he's feeling mostly normal and even got to attend an hour of school to participate in Idiom day.


Waiting for a scan.

Back at home to recover.

Ready for idiom day...when pigs fly
