Sean gets appendicitis

Sean has been feeling poorly for a few days. Yesterday the misery came to a head with a diagnosis of appendicitis. I was impressed with how fast things got resolved and taken care of. Tiff took him to the hospital during the day - after school. By 9:30PM he had his appendix removed and was recovering, somewhat groggily, in his room. The hospital was much nicer than the one I remembered from years ago. The nurses were efficient and helpful. The anesthetist (or anesthesiologist - I cannot remember) stopped by before the operation to inquire of any problems or issues with Sean's health. We went home to fetch PJs, and by the time we got back he was done in the operating room.

Today he is at home, gimping around and wrapping himself around a Junior Whopper. He got no supper last night and was starving. He seems OK, but kind of bent over when he walks.
