Thanks ladies for all the prayers and good thoughts! I just got home from the hospital and I am EXHAUSTED! Time really crawls at the hospital.

So, Tyrel never even went to bed last night adn was up all night with stomach cramps. I woke up around 5:30 and he was throwing up. Then his pain kept getting worse and worse so we felt he needed to go to the ER. He was looking REALLY pale and sick. :(

So after waiting an hour and a half in the waiting room, we finally saw a doctor and after DH explained his symptoms he immediately said, "sounds just like appendicitis." They gave him LOTS of morphine and it barely helped. Two surgeons came in and confirmed the diagnosis and set him up with a surgery. I knew this wasn't a really dangerous thing to be in the ER for, but I was worried he wouldn't get his surgery soon enough (he was in line behind some trauma patients) before his appendix possibly ruptured. Thankfully, all went well and he is feeling much better though a little loopy from all the meds. He will be staying at the hospital over night and I came home to get Allie to bed.

So, things are okay! I wasn't too anxious and felt peace that everything would work out. Now I'm just worried about how much the insurance will cover... :blink:

Oh, Tyrel said some really goofy things after coming out! LOL! He was all grumpy they said he couldn't eat of drink until tomorrow and then he goes, "I want to eat apples and bananas" and then started singing that song! Know that apples and bananas vowel song?! LOL! It was funny.
 
How scary to have to wait for so long! I'm so glad everything went okay for you all. That anesthesia can make people say some weird things!!

Hope your son has a speedy recovery!!!
 
Oh, and he gave me "the armpit dance"! :D I was covering him up in blankets and was like, "your armpits are getting a draft in there" so I spread out the blanket. Then he started shaking his shoulders. I was like, what was that? He says, "the armpit dance." WEIRDO!! :D
 
LOL ... well I'm glad he's doing well! I hadn't seen the original thread, so I am so glad they took care of him! It sounds like it must have been awful!
 
I'm so glad to hear he's gonna be ok. I hadn't seen the original thread either. And do I ever hear you about what insurance will pay :blink: ,lol.
Hope you've gotten some rest by the time you see this.
 
Megan, So glad that things went okay and that he went to the ER before his appendicts ruptured....I do know a Gal who left work in such severe pain to go to the ER and found out that her appendicts had ruptured....How she drove herself, I'll never know 'cause I can imagine there must have been excruciating pain involved....

P.S. Now I've got that same little song going through my brain....LOL
 
Thank God he let you take him to the ER! So glad everything is good and it wasn't TOO major.

Funny guy... wonder if he'll remember the singing.
 
I'm glad to hear all went well and I hope you got some rest yourself!

I am going to be singing apples and bananas all day now! LOL!
 
Glad he's doing better Megan! Anesthesia does make people do & say the funniest things & morphine makes my DH see weird creepy things on the walls!
