Good Thoughts Requested...

I just spoke with our daughter in Indiana ~ they are sitting at the ER waiting for results to see if our (almost) 9 yr. old granddaughter will need surgery for an apendix attack.

She had an upset stomach last evening but thought it might be from not eating much good food during the day, then, she woke up in the night with pain and still had pain this morning.

Our daughter and son-in-law took her to Urgent Care to get an opinion before taking her to the ER...they suspected what it might be but didn't want to just go to ER if a doc thought it was nothing...

Urgent Care doc said to go have it checked out...

So, there they sit, GD all hooked up to IV but not in any serious pain, just being tested every which way. But she's a trooper so I know she'll be fine.

However, that being said, she is still my 9 yr. old granddaughter and I'm just asking all my friends here to think good thoughts and send them towards central Indiana... It hasn't been proven to be a surefire way of curing ills but it's a comfort to know people are thinking about her.

Thanks!

Best wishes for good results with your granddaughter

Good thoughts for your 'baby' GD......
and to you...

thanks - I'm sure she'll be fine. I probably won't hear anything until tomorrow.

I told my daughter to only call if there was a problem, she & her husband will be too concerned sitting there to worry about updating the grandparents, etc. Tomorrow is soon enough.

(but my fingers & toes are crossed anyway....lol)

Update:

Granddaughter did end up having surgery to have her appendix removed.

She slept well and had a quiet night.

As soon as she's checked to be sure she can eat and void she'll probably be released to go home this afternoon.

Kids! Scary creatures that just sneak into your life....their problems can hurt your heart more than the physical pain the children are experiencing...Kids! Not for the faint of heart....

Thanks for all the good thoughts ~ I'm sure they assisted in the success of her care.

my Dd had the same thing when she about 14 or so.she was up & back to school in a day or so.

She should be feeling so much better now!!!

She got released to go home late this afternoon...a bit sore and gets a little cranky when it's time for a pain med ~ but she's doing fine.

Mom said it was done laproscopicly (sp?) - in through the belly button and a couple tiny incisions a bit lower. Now she's worried she might end up with an "outie"....OH, NOoooo ~ not that!!

I put a small package of silly stuff in the mail for her. Darn mail ~ it cost more to mail than what I bought!

But, hey, I had to send a little something to help cheer her up.

I had that type of surgery to remove my gallbladder in 1997 or so. Tell her not to worry, as my "innie" never turned into an "outie." I had a good laugh at this, Beth.

Hope she's doing fine now.
