Well, most of you probably heard our adventures the last couple of days. Ellie woke up early on Monday in a lot of pain on her right side. She developed a very high fever, and was throwing up anything she drank including any medicine. Andy took her to the Dr.'s (jelous ladies? Andy handles alot of the girls Dr.'s visits) The Dr. said it was textbook appendicitis. Off we went to the Children's Hospital. Then the tests started. She was in so much pain they dosed her with morphine. Her blood count was almost 3x the normal amount. The surgens started prepping us that the appendix was most likely ruptured. She got a blessing. She got a CT scan. The resident reading it said it was appendicitis, but when the attending took a look, he said that though the appendix was on the large end of normal, it was still normal. Blessing helped. No surgery. She was held in observation for 24 more hours becuase they worried about her blood count and other symptoms. Well, by the end of those 24 hours she was acting her normal wild self and we were sent home. She is feeling all better. It was a CRAZY 48 hours. I am so Thankful for Preisthood Blessings, and Friends and Family who made sure everything at home was taken care of. Thank you.
