Dear All
I had not slept much since my surgery. Thursday night/morning I was up
on the computer at 1am. My daughter got up not feeling well. I gave
her pepsid ac & stuff like that. Later she was throwing up & said her
stomach hurt. At 3:30, she wanted to go to the hospital, but then fell
asleep. At 6:30 we were up & she felt like throwing up again. Hubby &
I talked with her & talked about all sorts of stuff. I gave her
phenagrin, but she tossed it. Hubby went out of town, but told me to
take her to the DR if she didn't get better. By 9 we were at the
hospital. Then she was running a low grade fever. Blood count was
normal, but when they pressed on her side, she had bad pain. By 10 they
scheduled her for a scan of the appendix. It showed it was inlarged. By
2:10 she was in surgery. She will be staying in the hospital until
Sunday because it was so infected that they wanted to give her lots of
antibiotics. She was calm about the whole thing, even when they gave
her the IV. The only thing she was worried about was getting adhesions
from the surgery and of course, me. All day, she kept asking how I was
doing. She came through surgery great. Last night before we left the
hospital, Dad asked if she wanted one of us to stay with her, but she
said no, that I needed to rest. She really likes the hospital with the
moving bed, the TV and a phone, what else would a teenager want??!! When
we left, she had been up walking around doing good. Please keep us both
in your prayers for speedy recoveries & for Dan for the patients to put
up with us both.
love
