So Tuesday night we had our nephew over for a sleep over! Good times right? Well until about 9:00 p.m. when Lara say's my stomache is hurting really bad! She'd had some pains all day but not too crazy. She's pretty tough with all she has been through, so I knew it must be bad if she was complaining about it. So, I went on line and she had all the symptoms for Appendicitis.


She headed to the emergency room (while I took care of our boys, nephew and Karsyn, kinda crazy, the boys that is.)


Joshua my brother in law came over and spent the night while I took Karsyn to the hospital to nurse and see Lara. It was appendicitis and yesterday she had an emergency appendectomy. They said if she had waited a day longer it would have burst.


So, the boys are at my parents, I am home with Karsyn and Lara is recovering in the hospital. They hope she'll be home today but it's taking more out of her than anticipated and she doesnt' feel good at all. She actually vomitted last night after I came home and is feeling really rough.


Pray her migraine headache goes away, the infection doesn't spread anywhere else and that she'll recover quickly. The Dr. said it was one of the worst one's he has seen and wants to have her come back for follow up as it could easily lead to more if it doesn't heal up free of infection etc.


What a year! This has been one of the best and hardest years of our life! God has brought us through so much, I'm just thankful that it has been together!

Wow! God has allowed you to keep a positive and trusting attitude through all of this - and I am sure you and Lara don't take any of the healthy times for granted! Praying for quick and complete recovery and praising God for the relationship He has given you to withstand the storms of life!
