Rupture or Not? (18 days left)

That has been the question for the past 24 hours.  The conclusion was that it WAS ruptured.  That was news to me! It also explains why it has taken longer for him to recover. Evidently it was more of a leaking appendix rather than a bursted open one.  Matthew was unhappy this morning but is happier now, watching a movie. He just got a surprise phone call and singing message from the Village Green singers at school.  That made him very happy! If Matthew can eat and keep drinking enough today we could go home this afternoon. Here's hoping!

I am very glad that our nurse found us a laptop for our room. It is a better faster computer than in the lounge.

We just moved to a private room with quite a view! We can watch helicopters from here.  Lots of windows.  The child life specialist just came in and told us that the Michigan Whitecaps are coming to visit!  What a treat! Matthew got his tshirt and scrub pants on instead of the dumb gown. 

With a new room comes a new phone number..here it  616-391-7177. Make a note of it.

Will let you know how things go.
