Bryan's Appendectomy

 Bryan came home from work and immediately started having abdominal pain. He thought it was maybe a stomach bug so retreated upstairs to rest. After dinner, doing the normal kid things and bedtime, I could tell that he wasn't doing very well. We discussed possible appendicitis and after Bryan met 12/12 signs and symptoms of appendicitis, we thought we may be heading to the ER. I text Kelly to put her on standby and her husband offered to come give Bryan a blessing. After Devin and another guy from our ward gave Bryan a blessing, we decided to head to the ER. Devin stayed with the kids. The ER quickly confirmed it was appendicitis. The surgeon scheduled his surgery for first thing in the morning. I came home at 2 am and sent our friend home. The next morning, Bryan's surgery went well and I headed to the hospital as soon as the kids were at school. He's done well with his recovery and if anything, needs to take it a little easier. :) Grateful for all of our friends that checked in on us or brought us treats/dinner during this time!


Brief wait at the ER while I was checking in. He was not faking how crummy he felt!!

Waiting for the drugs to kick in!

Post surgery and feeling a million times better. The cookies helped, too.
