Really appendix? Again?

A year and a half ago Birdy's appendix ruptured. He almost died. 3 weeks in the hospital. 3 days on the ventilator. Crazed humevacced off the submarine. A mother's nightmare. My nightmare...

Birdy resting post appendectomy


This morning Rah woke up at 5:30 with a hurting stomach. His stomach has hurt for weeks, we've done probiotics, fiber etc, no change... But this morning his crying is different. Or maybe I've just had enough. I took him to the ER. I really don't know why...


Turns out he had appendicitis... But we caught it early. No nightmare. I expected a nightmare, I cried (when he wasn't looking).

Off to get operated on



Surgery went well, I'm laying in his hospital bed next to him writing this (he wanted snuggles and I couldn't stand to be further from him) he's sleeping. He didn't try to die on me. The surgeon was surprised I didn't seem stressed, I was so calm.


HA!


I wasn't calm, I was relieved!!! I am relieved!! He's ok!! He's not going to try to die on me!!! I might not even have to miss any work!
"get me out of this hospital"















All is right in the world.




I'm ready to be home already
