Appendecomy

Well our lives took a dramatic shift on Thursday night.... Justin had been having some major pains in the stomach over the week it was up high and he thought he had the stomach flu. His missed teaching one class but went back and taught Wednesday night and then 4 hours on Thursday. Justin must have a very high tolerance for pain. Finally that night I took him to the ER and he had emergency surgery. It took about 3 hours and they said it was a little more intrusive than a normal appendectomy because it was ready to burst. He is still in he hospital. He has not been able to stand up or eat yet but is feeling okay. Last night he had a fever of 101.

Thank you to Ryan and Missy for taking Brett in the night of his surgery and thank you to mom and dad for driving up and helping with brett.

UPDATE:
Today (Saturday February 14) was a much better day. He was able to stand up and he also had some chicken broth. He has not eaten since last Monday before he started feeling sick. He said it was the best soup he ever had and it felt wonderful to eat. You can tell he is feeling better because he is a little ornery and every time he sees a commercial for food he talks about it. The dr said there is a chance he can come home Sunday but he will have to come home with a drain still sticking out of his side. The infection was pretty bad so they are keeping a drain in there to make sure they get it all out. The only worry justin has is about getting back to work since its mid semester and he just missed time in Florida
