Appendectomy!!

What a night!! It all started on Saturday with a stomach ache. We ended up at IHC in Riverton on Sunday night. We arrived at 6:00 and at 12:00 a.m. After blood tests, x-rays andCT scans we left with an answer of "appendicitus". The only problem was that, that particular hospital does not operate on children under 12. So, at 1:00 a.m we were on our way up to Primary Children's Hospital. We almost had to take the ambulance but the Dr. told us that we looked like reliable people that would get him there safely. Well...we get up to Primary's and they had to do the whole shabang again! Same questions, same routine! We finally got to our room at 4:00 a.m. and John Paul went into surgery at 4:30 a.m. Everything went well and he got out of surgery at 6:15. We didn't get back to our room until 7:00. If you can believe it WE GOT STUCK IN THE ELEVATOR!! Not even kidding! For 20 minutes we were confined in a 8X8 box. John Paul was miserable because the hadn't given him any pain medication yet. They finally got us out and we got a wonderful tour of the basement and underground parking garage!! All this while John Paul is being pushed in a HUGE bed! Well, we are now warm and cozy in our room. John Paul is Playing Playstation and waiting for his room service of Mac and Cheese and a rootbeer float! He may not want to go home anytime soon!
