Prayers for a speedy and full recovery, and for the family. Had mine out when I was in Italy, in the Army. They didn't know what was causing me all the problems, and just thought it was gastroenteritis, and treated me for that, and sent on my way. When I came down on a levy for Nam, and was sent to Ft. Lewis, Washington, the day before I was to fly out for Nam, I had another attack, and they weren't sure, but said they were leaning towards Appendicitis, and said after the surgery, that it burst, just as the Doctor grabbed it to pull and cut it. So I had a drain put in. Not a fun time, when they would come in and change the gauze they had packed in the open entry cut, and then pulled a little bit of the drain out, and retaped it.
(But hey, it kept me out of that miserable mess that should have never happened, but it makes for happy big corporation$, and politician$.) I can feel for the little guy not understanding what is going on.
But be thankful that today, that is mostly a ho hum surgery procedure. Not like it was, not too far in the past. It is not that uncommon for youngsters to have it. I knew some people in the Army who had theirs removed when they were just a baby. Yeah, torture is right, I hated it when they made me cough, and get up and walk around.
Just trying to sit up was very difficult. You don't realize how much you use your stomach muscles till you get a hole in some of them!
All the best for him and the rest of the Family. Now he can get some "Cool" attention from the Siblings, Family, and Friends!
