This morning Oma had her surgery...and boy was it longer than planned. Oma doesn't do anything halfway...seems it was about the worst case of appendicitis the surgeon had seen, he called in another surgeon to help out!! As it turns out, the appendix was indeed ruptured, and probably for some time. The surgeon couldn't believe she wasn't in more pain or showing more symptons. Oma is indeed a medical mystery!!! She was not running a fever, was not in pain, white cell count was only slightly off....
Needless to say we're all thrilled she made it through surgery and it didn't get any worse. The appendix was twisted all around and infection everywhere so it really could have been worse. Not to say it wasn't bad, but she will be all right. It was obviously major surgery though so she'll be in the hospital for a few days and recovery may take a while given the abdominal incision. We'll do our best to help her out. The boys keep asking to see their Oma!!
GET WELL OMA!!!!
More to come tomorrow....pics of the boys at the park today. Weather as BEAUTIFUL!!
