Appendi-what?

 About a week ago, we had quite a shock. Matt was experiencing some pain in his lower abdomen for about seven hours, so we decided to take a trip to the clinic around 7:00 pm on Saturday the 8th of October.  We were told that he could have appendicitis. We rushed to the emergency room, hoping for good news. The doctors said that it was indeed appendicitis, so Matt was prepared for surgery. The surgery took place at 11:00 pm and Matt was back to his room by 1:30 am. It was scary, but Matt did great and came out just fine. It was a blessing that Matt decided to go to the clinic, because the surgeon said that if we had waited, his appendix would have burst. We are blessed indeed. We were at the hospital until 2:00 pm the next day and were ready to leave. We are so grateful that it is all over with and that Matt is healthy and happy. Although he is still recovering, everything is looking great and the pain meds are helping a little, but he is still feeling some pain. What a week!


All of the nurses and doctors that helped us were very sweet and helpful...and hilarious!


Matt was the most optimistic patient I have ever seen! What a stud.


Although I have never seen him in a dress, I thought this one was a bit large.
