Sorry to hear she is not coming home sounds like you are doing a great job keeping things together. I am sure you and the kids want her home, but it is best she is in the hospital while things are still uncertain. We are praying for your wife to get better and for you as the rock of support.

Sorry to hear the turn of events--if there's good news the surgical procedure now is laproscopic and recovery time is super fast and discomfort isn't enarly what is was 10 years ago when I had my 3rd one. First inciscion was about 12 inches long with 3 week hosp stay--last one about 2 inchs and 3-4 days hosp.

If they have to surgery get her a big pillow to hold across abdomen when she coughs ad laffs--that's about the worst part thankfully.

Keep the Faith.

Dave. At least they found whats causing the problem and can fix it. Hopefully without the surgery. Once its cleared up she'll be fine in no time. Hang in there brother.

Dave,
Don't worry, they'll fix her up, good as NEW.
Keep the Faith,
Dean and Robin.

The Doc said today that they can possibly do the lypo or it will be the standard surgery. It was up to the surgen. I hope it's the lypo. Lypo is a 2 to 3 day down time, standard is a week to 2 weeks. She was barking orders at me today so she must be feeling better !!! And craving orange sherbert? or what ever that ice cream stuff is called. Yes i'm tired !!! Havn't been to bed yet and have to go to my daughters play tonight. Can't sleep there either , I have to video tape it for Moma !!! so we can watch it in the hospital tonight after the play..... Dave

Best wishes to you both. I know it's got to be tough for everyone involved, but we are here pulling for you.

Update : Jenn went into surgery this am and everything is well !!! It turns out, her appendix ruptured and the abbcess wrapped around her intestine and ovaries causing the blockage. A big blow out mess in my terms.The Doc was showing me the pic's and it looks just like a blow-out !!! Just left the hospital and she is sleeping. They should be able to remove the tube from her stomach and she should be on the down side of this. Thank you all for the prayers !!! I was pretty scared about this. She was very sick but handled it VERY well. Thanks again OSO !!! Dave Warden

Well that is good news that she is resting, congrats and sleep is only for people with nothing to do. You just had your test of a true husband and father...came through with flying colors...Rob

Dave - relieved to hear all the positive. Wishing and praying for a speedy recovery.

Great News Dave!! Glad to hear that she is doing better!!
