Thursday morning we had quite a scare.  My oldest son woke up with abdominal pain…..  not the normal ate to much Halloween candy pain. But lower right sided pain. Both my husband and I have medical backgrounds and that screamed appendix to us.  Needless to say we took him straight to the Dr.   Next thing that we knew he was being wheeled back to surgery.  Thursday and Friday were a blurr.  He is home now and recovering fine. It was funny, he wanted to keep his appendix but the Dr. said that he could only give him pictures.  He wanted to show it to his friends…he said that it was “good science.”   I must say that we are all relieved and praising God that he is ok!!! 

Another blessing through this whole thing is that while I was with him at  Dr.’s the girls were still able to get school done with T4L.  I did not worry that  they would miss something.  I was able to focus on him.  Thanks T4L.  They said that he would be sore for a little while and that he could go back to school whenever we said so…he told the Dr. that he homeschooled and the Dr. said…..”well then you can go back Monday”  I may give him another day  ???  He smiled and said that one thing he missed about “regular” school was that when you were sick you did not have to do work anyway……  )
