I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. Were they able to get it out before it burst? I hope her recovery is going well. I know it can be hard.
When I was 12 I had a terrible violent vomiting on a Sat. and was sick w/a fever for two days. I then had terrible side pain but just thought it was a pulled muscle from getting sick, so tried not to make a big deal of it to my mom. Until it got unbearable and my temp was 105, it was Tues early AM before we went to the hospital and 4 pm before opperation. They said my appendix had been burst since Sat. and I had developed peritonitis. Luckily, they said my pancreas saved me by moving over and containg some poison. I recovered well though.
I hope they were able to get to hers before it burst. Please give your little girl an extra hug for me. It is amazing how things like this can bond people. Especially parents. I hope things are still going well for you and your wife.
BTW, you are more than welcome to join us for a VA-MD-DC get together. Although, it would be quite a drive, you are in NY, right? I keep hearing rumor of an East Coast get together. If they do, I will try to make it, I hope you could too. It would be so GREAT to meet you in person. The one who has the most simlar sitch, a mirror image almost. You've given such great advice to me. I've really learned a lot from you.
Take care of you and yours. I'll pray for your little angel.
