When it Rains it Pours~~

Wow! When it rains it pours! As you know, my son had an appendectomy on Nov. 6th. He was home for a week and was still having pain and was uncomfortable. On November 19th, he started running a high fever and not feeling well at all. His Dad took him to the ER where they did a CT Scan and found an absess. He had to have a drain tube put in Thursday morning to drain all the infection out. He had a really rough time with this, poor guy. He has really been through alot in November. After his procedure, while in the recovery room, he spiked a temp of 106 and they worked for about 1 hour to get his temp down. They almost kept him in ICU overnight but was able to get his temp down and stablized. He was given 3 strong antibiotics by IV plus Morphine for pain for a whole week. He was released on Thanksgiving morning! Thank God! That evening he came to my sister's house for Thanksgiving Dinner and his Birthday Party! He turned 14 years old the next day at 6:56pm. WOW! What a Birthday, huh! He is doing really good now and is back in school; and I am back to work and the normal busy life. LOL Run, Run, Run!!! LOL

Oh, and YES, I did do the Black Friday Shopping thing--lol--with my sister! I stayed with her on Thanksgiving night and we got up at 3:00am and to the stores by 3:50am. What a mess! lol I don't know why we subject ourselves to these things! Bargins? Well, I didn't find too many. By the time I got to where I wanted, they were sold out. Figures! LOL Think I would have done better online or just waiting and paying a few more dollars. However, my sister and I did have some "bonding time". :) Love ya sister!
