Not Again!!!???


So, Jake, as many of you know, had his appendix removed on July 3rd. Well, this last week he has been getting these low-grade temps every day...nothing big...just some body aches and headaches...maybe a little soreness at one of the incision sites. Well, yesterday he had some lab work drawn which showed an elevated white count. This morning....like, at 6AM (which, at 15 years of age...is like torture!!) we were up and trying to get the contrast in for a CT scan at 7:45am. YES! A little drama goes a long way!
Basically, he will be admitted to the hospital this evening for IV fluids and antibiotics. Surgery tomorrow morning to clean out the infection from the last surgery.
I bet this goes down as Jake's worst summer vacation ever!!!
So, be thinking of him and sending a prayer up for him...for a speedy recovery and no more set-backs!
Thanks!
