Appendix Out

Took Cherry Pie to the hospital last night, thinking she might have appendicitis.

At that point, she couldn’t stand up straight because she was in so much pain.

The Resident Lieutenant is in Joplin – activated with his national guard unit to help with aftermath from the Joplin tornado. Seems like it is always when he is gone that stuff like this happens.

She really, really didn’t want to go to the hospital.

She really, really didn’t want to have an operation.

Finally, she said, “Okay, I will have my appendix out, since Grandpa had his appendix out.”

What a brave, brave girl.

After the operation, the surgeon told me she needed to take it easy for about a week.

After 3 days, I had to tell her not to climb trees yet. 😅

It is hard to slow her down.
