The end of the appendix

Isaac is now appendix free!!!!

He and John left for Children's Hospital this morning at 5:45 a.m.  By 9:00, they had him prepped, tested for additional infections, and in the operating room.



And here is the culprit that caused so much grief.  Thank you Dr. Madonna for the graphic photo.

 Thanks to his MRSA infection, they again have their own room.  Children's Hospital is great at trying to keep the kids pain free, so he is doped up on Lortab right now.  Other than feeling a little loopy, he is fine.  John said that he ate a little bit for dinner, and is just relaxing and enjoying his time being able to watch all sorts of dad-approved, mom-disapproved movies.

As a pre-celebration, we went out for ice cream at Isaac's favorite, Oberweiss.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Anthony!  Even though the your get well card said to take Isaac out for ice cream when he was feeling better, he wanted to go while he still felt like eating.  We all enjoyed it!
