Cloyd had his appendix out this last Sunday. He has had stomach problems et pain in his right lower abdomen for some time now, he thinks since his mission. But, it has never been anything to serious in fact the pain usually goes away pretty quickly. Except on Sunday it was a different story the pain wouldn't go away and got worse. So, off to the ER we go, luckily one of my favorite surgeons was on this weekend and he took care of it.
When he pulled the appy out he found that it was not only acute appendicitis but chronic, as there was a significant amount of scar tissue around it. Go figure all these years of stomach problems was because of one little appy. The dr also gave the rest of his stomach a clean bill of health saying that is was very normal looking. whew!

Now it is just getting him back to normal. It may take him a few days to get over the pain and to be able to lift again. He is really having a hard time not being able to hold James for to long let alone lift him.

How sad for Cloyd, I'm glad to hear that he's on the mend. What a long time to endure all that.
I was hoping that you would blog about this...it was a pleasure to take care of Cloyd. He was such a funny patient!
Hope his recovery is swift and complete! I can imagine he is going through withdrawl...not being able to hold James very long!
Good luck!
