I was JUST about to say that was the ONLY excuse I was going to accept for the slackin on blog world:) I am glad all is well. Isn't that surgury COOL, does his shoulders hurt now? Very normal
What a crazy last few days for y'all!! I am glad all is well now and that he is doing well.
Wow, your life is never boring. Glad to hear he is doing well and enjoying the finer things of life again. Pizza. Video games. Nurses waiting on you hand and foot 24/7. lol!!!!
oh.. so thats why you weren't answering the phone.. you really weren't avoiding me.. ookkayy.. I feel really stupid now.. please disregard the 10 voicemails I left.. particularly the last 2.. ouch.. my bad!!!
Feel better Brayden.. and the rest of the crew!!!!
Wow, he really does look good.
I'm curious, did he come home and say, "Mom, I have abdominal pain" or is that a side-effect of hearing doctors and nurses talking at/around you for two days.
Also, um, thos pictures--what's what? Fascinating, i need more info on them.
Morphine is good.
I guess you knew something was wrong when you told him to go to his room and he went. :)
s-yes he totally has the gas pains...freaky!
f.d-thanks
t.p's-Seriously!!!!
r-ya, wow all those expletive's on my voice mail.
N-LOL!!! No actually he said, MOTHER DEAR, I HAVE ACUTE ABDOMINAL PAIN. LOL. jk. More like, my stomach freaking hurts!!!!The first pic is the dr holding the appendix, the red part is the inflammation, the second pic is them putting it in the bag to dispose of it. I have pics of his hernias too, if you are interested. hehehehe
wow! That's nuts! Thank goodness he's okay though!!
I wanna see a hernia.. sorry again about the voice mail..
I am glad Brayden is allright! Did he get the option to keep his appendix? I had them put mine in a jar that I proudly displayed in my room along with various body casts. And I took it to my bio class to show everyone what it acctually looked like. I know..I'm weird! What an ordeal, now go and enjoy ourself in OK.
love the pictures... lol! I am really glad brayden is better, how scary! weird we just left yall and this happens. they always say bad things come in 3's. i was wondering what the third thing would be since he had the appendix and then the hernias, and then i read your blog about the flat tire and there it is, number 3...
Glad Brayden is feeling better!!
