Who needs their appendix anyways?

Sunday afternoon Gavin started complaining about a stomach ache. We both thought it was nerves just because he had his biggest final of the semester the next day. He tried to ignore in but it just continued to increase. He went to the law library on Monday trying to focus on his final. He even suffered through the final and came home doubled over in pain. Monday night was a long night and we both were up quite a few times. The pain had now moved from the center to the right side. Gavin was such a trooper and headed to work knowing that he had to go to wait for another member of management to come in. We went to Urgent care with the suspicion it might be his appendix. Sure enough the doctor sent him to the hospital. (Great waste of $20) We got there about 11:30 where a scan was done along with blood work. Yup, appendicitis. Surgery was scheduled for 6:30 and at 10:30 Gavin was finally wheeled away. 45 minutes later, the doctor was out with pictures telling me everything went great. Gavin later asked me if this is what it feels like to have a C-section. That made me laugh! Gavin is doing great and was able to get his last final moved because of obvious reasons. He will be returning to work tomorrow and we pray that he will survive the day. He has been such a trooper!
