23 Staples

So last week Justin had his Appendix taken out and he now has 23 staples in his stomach. We went to the Emergency Room on Monday because his stomach was in a lot of pain and he didn't go to BAS that day like I told him to. :\ He had a CT scan done and after a 6-hour visit, the doctor said he had a swollen colon. He went to the Gastro Internal doctor on Wednesday, and he said that it was his lower intestine that was swollen and the ER never should have let him go home. Great. He was admitted to the hospital and 4 or 5 hours later he had another CT scan done. The surgeon said that it was Appendicitis and that he thought some of the other organs were swollen. They were going to do an Appendectomy and exploratory surgery. It took him 4 days of recovery before I could bring him home. He was in a lot of pain for the first two days, but he is doing much better now. It's nice to have him back home and I know the pets are ecstatic that someone will be home all day for a month!!
