I'm happy for the positive update 
.
DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

Healing thoughts and mojo for a quick and complete recovery.
Nerve calming mojo for the family waiting for updates. It's really hard to be so far away from children facing a crisis, no matter how old.
Finding what life could have been....... Why didn't I see it?

Sounds like he's in great hands, good thing they got to it quickly.
2 years ago my (then) DS14 had a 'bad tummy ache', which turned out to be appendicitis. He was jumping up and down the stairs the next day like nothing had happened.
Of course, the morphine helped a bit.

Sending mojo for a speedy recovery. My ds had a perforated appendix a few years ago when he was 7. We did spend a few weeks in the hospital because he needed I.V. antibiotics to fight any infection. I believe he was on two by I.V. at the hospital, and another one orally when we came home.
He has a small scar now, but all is well.
Go softly my sweet friend. You will always be a part of who I am.

Whew! Just talked with him, and the news sounds pretty good.
His biggest pain-related problem is gas. His white cell count was good at 5:20 AM, but a fever started around 10 AM. He says the docs aren't worried about the fever and would send him home today if he wants to go. He doesn't, but he's looking forward to going home tomorrow. (Last night they were saying they'd keep him until Tuesday, so this sounds encouraging.)
He's walked around, and he feels weak, but that seems normal.
He said the doc said he would basically be restricted by pain in his activity - lifting is OK, working out on his elliptical machine is OK.
We won't be able to relax until the fever is gone and he's recovered, but it sounds like that's going to happen. I wish we were there and had talked with the doc, but I bet the doc was happy to talk only with his W.
He's 42 years old. If we had been in close proximity, we'd have been as much of a wreck as Jrazz was earlier this week.
If your parents are normally dysfunctional or better and still alive, remember they care about you, even when you're an adult.

That's good news! Moving helps the gas, as we know, but it's amazing how bad the gas after abdominal surgery can feel.
Sounds like he's doing well,

Just saw this, and it seems the SI mojo worked it's magic. I hope he has a speedy, uneventful recovery.
If all is well they may try to kick him out of the hospital today.
Mojo and prayers for this.

Just talked with DIL - son feels very weak and tired, but his white cell count remains good and his fever is low-grade, which is apparently expected, given the extent of the rupture. Docs say he's ready to go home maybe tonight, otherwise tomorrow. They're OK with another day in the hospital.
It's so good to be able to share with folks like you - always ready with mojo, no questions asked, always ready to listen and share experience and expertise.
Thanks very much.

Fever of 101.7, so he's staying until tomorrow AM. He thinks he's always had the fever, but his temp has previously been taken too soon after he's drunk some ice water.
None of us is happy...just waiting.
He doesn't want us there, and given the blizzard, we couldn't get there today anyway.

I hope your son's fever goes down soon. Keep us posted.

Looking good today - he's had 2 cycles of fever suppressant without a spiking temp, and he feels better than he has since this started. Sounds like he'll be sent home this afternoon.
We're feeling good.
