Never a dull moment!

Just when the semester had ended and I was FINALLY about to head out on my long awaited, much anticipated, and desperately needed camping trip.....BOOM!  My darling daughter came down with Appendicitis.  I didn't think people still got Appendicitis, but apparently they do.  And when they do, it goes from zero to sixty faster than a Ferrari!

Thanks to the staff at PRMC, Lani was diagnosed and operated on within a few hours of the onset of her symptoms.  I must thank the nurses of Pediatrics for  the exceptional care they showed her, and her surgeon for the concern and care he demonstrated.  It is absolutely horrible to watch your child lie in a hospital bed, but the nurses made it bearable for us.

A week later, Lani is home and enjoying her first shower in 7 days...she has a long 5 weeks of recovery ahead, but that's a small price to pay for a healthy body.

Additional Thanks to all our friends and family who came to visit, or sent cards and gifts to the hospital.  It really helped Lani keep her positive attitude, knowing that so many people love her.  And of course; Dave, Mom and Monica.  You three kept ME sane and Lani giggling.
