Guest guest Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 Two years ago we had a really sucky year health wise... pneumonia, fiths disease induced arthritis and God Knows What else... It was a really bad year. Two years on... We've had FOUR broken bones this year alone... two each for the girls. One at a time of course. I " ve been thrilled and smug about Felix being so healthy... famous last " smug " . THEN... we went to reno on Tuesday so " Himself' " rellies could visit... We're only there one full day... and of course on that day Felix starts with " I " M STARVING " . I mean he was acting like out of contol hunger.... So I buy him a corn dog... three bites later and it's " I'm not hungry, I think I'm sick. " Sure enough 10 minutes later the corndog makes a return... Great! So the kid has the flu. >sigh< No biggie, this is what happened the LAST time we were in Reno and then Hunny Bunny caught it! Well, the kid spent the afternoon throwing up... at 8 pm (aprx) I asked " how are you feeling " . " My Tummy Hurts " . Par for the course and then I asked " WHERE does it hurt " Well, after his answer, some poking and proding on my part, he's in emergency with surgery at 5:45 the next morning... Yep, you guessed it, he had an appendectomy. So, we spent two extra days in Reno, most of it spent in the hospital. He was lucky, only three small holes. His Doctor told me that for someone his size, his appendix was unusually long, reached back almost to his liver! Also, if he'd been any smaller, he would have been sliced and diced instead of just " holed " . Boy! Does this family know how to have fun or WHAT? -- Cheers!
