Excitement!

Well, I didn't get any pictures of this but thought I better document this for posterity. . . On Monday, the 22nd of February, Ryan woke up with the flu. It's been reoccuring about once a month. But silly us, instead of suspecting anything we just wondered how our kids kept bringing home these terrible bugs for him to enjoy.
Finally, by Friday he was still feeling under the weather so he went into urgent care. They tested his blood and sent him over to Radiology. Sure enough, his appendix was infected and they sent him right over to surgery. Of course, it was the weekend before his Thesis was due and his brother, Greg was getting home from his mission. Luckily he was ahead in his school work and was able to just rest for the weekend. He got to have the same great doctor that removed Brandon Davies, BYU Basketball player, appendix. He felt well taken care of.
We celebrated big on Monday by printing off the paper, getting it bound, and turning it over to a friend to turn in on Tuesday. It was a little anti-climactic, to say the least, as far as the Thesis goes. We were just happy to have Ryan feeling good enough to go to the airport to welcome home Greg on Tuesday morning.
Ryan has since had his incisions checked and all looks good. It's nice to know that such a small organ that can cause so much pain, can quickly be zapped of all power and be gotten rid of.
