Not just hunger pains

Fast Sunday October 13th... It's usually a pretty grumpy day for Gunner, so when he said his stomach was hurting I didn't put much stock in it.

I said he could stay home but I was hiding the remote and he was to lay in bed and read while we were at church.

The next morning he was still saying he was having pain in his stomach, So Andrew poked his belly a little bit, gave him a blessing, then asked him if he felt ok to go to school.

Gunner said he thought he could and they left for school.

Shortly after Andrew returned home with Gunner. He said every bump was hurting as they drove and maybe I should take him to the Dr.

I called and told him the symptoms and they got us in at 9:40 that morning.

The Dr. poked his stomach, pulled on him right leg and knocked on the bottom of him right foot then turned to me and said, well he has appendicitis and he was calling the hospital to get us in.

We left and headed for Cardon Children's hospital where we still had to wait in the E.R. to be seen.

What was the call ahead for?

After an Ultrasound of his belly they confirmed appendicitis and we were admitted and headed for surgery.

Grandpa White came down to give him a blessing before they took him back. He also hung around and waited a while with us.

All done! Not quite ready to wake up yet.

After a while he was a wake and moved to a room for the next few days.

Lucky me there was an Oreganos across the street! Yum. Kind of helped with my sleeping accommodations. a not so comfy couch.

liquid diet for a bit

We had to make the rounds to get things working again. You know you have to start passing gas;)

Hope that gown stays tied!

Gunner had visitors from his young mens leaders, Bro. Weight, Bro. Mecham, Bro.Merrill , our home teachers, Brother and Sister Ashcroft, Grandma and Grandpa White, Grandma Gillespie, and aunt Angela who all know the way to his heart!
