The staples are out!!

On February 8th, Alex complained of stomach pain. Well, it got worse so he went to the doctor who sent him to the ER for a CAT scan. It showed what we thought...he needed to have his appendix removed. It was perforated so he needed to stay in the hospital for 3 days for IV antibiotics. That was rough for all of us...we sure missed Alex around the house!!! Not only all of the chores that he does but he is my rock. The care in the hospital wasn't the best (tried to give him the WRONG medicine, changed his ID tag to a 61 year old female, sat in vomit for over 5 minutes...I could go on) so it was tough managing the house, taking/picking up Prescott from preschool, getting Aubree naps in and spending as much time with Alex as possible. This past Friday we all went to his appointment with the surgeon and were happy to see the staples removed!!! Alex returns to work Monday after being gone for 2 weeks. We are very grateful for all of our family and friends that showed concern, made meals for us, watched the kids, visited Alex in the hospital, etc!!! It really makes you evaluate your life and realize those that support you in times of need. THANK YOU!!!!
