Hi Everyone
What a time we have all had especially Al.........this started on friday night when she complained of having a sore stomach which got worse so by the early hours of Saturday morning we were at emergency at the local hospital.Finally after about 5 hours we were seen and then after a couple more we were told she had a UTI and sent home with some antibiotics.Ok well Saturday afternoon she got worse, high temp, feverish, vomiting poor baby so back we went only to come home again.Saturday night she was restless and Sunday morning she was a little brighter with the pain being spasmatic now not continuous but much worse when it occured. We went back to the hospital about 12 because she had become much worse by this time and her temp was 40.5.They seen to her immediately which was great..no waiting and by this time her pathology report was back from Saturday and this showed no UTI at all so specialists were called and Appendicitis was what they all suspected. So to be absolutely sure the only option was an operation which was done at 4 pm, by this time though her appendix had burst.Soooo we have been in hospital since Sunday, Al was allowed to come home today as she has recovered really well, of course she is still very sore and has to have 2 weeks off school and cant do anything strenuous for at least 4 weeks but I am just so releived that she is fine and they operated in time...cant imagine what she would be like if they had waited until Sunday night or Monday morning especially seeing as though they had already burst.
I will try and catch up on everyone,s blogs over the next couple of days..hope you are all doing great guns.
Love Em

Eeek! Scary stuff, I'm glad it's worked out OK. My cousin had a burst appendix a few years back, she came through it OK but she was stuck in hospital for a week after the op with a drain in her side while they got the infection under control - not nice.
No it wasnt nice, luckily alea had no infection and perked up pretty well considering....specialist said shes too tough n healthy for her own good lol.
OMG, how horrible! What a scary time for you all. So glad it all went well in the end and hope she is feeling OK and enjoys her two weeks off school.
OMG how did you cope!!!
Scary stuff hun!!!
I am so glad it is all over and she is recovering nicely:)

Thanx Suzy and Em for your well wishes yes it was very scary , Al was so brave mum not so good but I am just so thankful that the specialist decided to operate as everyone else was talking monday morning and I hate to think about the consequences then.
