My dear nephew David, here depicted eating obscene amounts of cake at his eighteenth birthday party only a week or so back, has been admitted to hospital with a dodgy appendix. He had an operation this morning (Tuesday) and we hope to see him home tomorrow evening or Thursday, but at the moment we have no further news.Poor dear: this happens in his last ever school/college holidays as he joins the workforce once his exams are over this summer....
UPDATE: I spoke to Kaye (his mother) this morning (Wednesday). He was in pain yesterday evening, and had a slightly disturbed night but on the whole is OK. The hospital has an outbreak of a D+V bug and so visiting is limited, but he still could be home as early as this evening. He is - of course - in our thoughts and prayers.
As in ours Jon, Appendex is a tricky one as they can flare and then subside called a "Grumbling appedix". Its not a pleasant op and mine burst just as they got it out. I do whish him a speedy recovery. Plenty of rest and recouperation.
ReplyDeleteDear Dave,
ReplyDeleteEmma and I hope you are much better soon and you are as always in our prayers, just a bit higher up the list ;)
