July 23, 2008

The last 24 hours have been quite a journey. Wade was having a great deal of pain in his abdomen yesterday morning. We blew it off for gut pains...but by lunch he was doubled over. We went to the doctor and our conclusion was that he had an ulcer. Wade got a shot for pain and some medications. Unfortunately that did not help and the pain grew worse. Finally at 3 am we headed to the ER. A CT scan concluded that Wade's appendix was near bursting. They gave him some serious pain meds and scheduled surgery. They just took him back a minute ago. He will have surgery a little after 10. It will take an hour and then he will be in recovery for an hour before they bring him back to his room.

Please pray for the surgeon Dr Mast and for all the nurses that are surrounding him. Pray for their eyes and ears to be open and aware of Wade's needs. I will send another mail as soon as Wade is out of surgery. We have been in the hospital more than our fare share of time these past few months...I do not know how we would have physically and emotionally survived without all of you. Thanks for all your love and support
