DS10 is in hospital after having an appendectomy. It was rather a difficult op as his appendix had ruptured and the infection had spread quite a lot. Op was Tues evening, we've been in hospital.since Sunday night but his test results and presentation were inconclusive hence the delay to the op. He started feeling ill last thursday but none of his symptoms seemed to be appendicitis- type. Fast forward to post-op, he's on IV antibiotics, morphine drip, IV paracetamol, fluids, catheter, nil by mouth etc. His temp keeps spiking amd his tummy hurts. I've been ok till now but we just got woken up by the doc to take some blood as they're worried about his temp and want to check some things, and it's just all got on top of me. Seeing him in pain, knowing he is going to take a while to recover because of how messy his insides were, worrying if the infection is still present. Its horrible. I'm so worried about him and so sad for him that he feels so rough. And he's being so stoic. I just want to cuddle him and I can't even do that because of all the tubes. Gah.
