I'm writing this on my laptop in my husband's hospital room. He had a hot appendix that he had surgery to remove... when they got in there it turned out to have ruptured, causing some complications. He'll be in for at least four days. He was in the OR for about two hours, for something that should have taken about 45 minutes. Then in postop recovery for another two hours. He actually just got up to his room about an hour ago. He has two drains in his abdomen, draining off the area to prevent further infection, plus, of course, the incisions themselves. Thankfully they were still able to do it via laparoscopy. He's getting all kinds of antibiotics. All not very comfortable, as I'm sure you can well imagine.

I'm staying with him tonight. Very cool that they have wifi.

Asking for your good thoughts to be sent his way. Thank you!

I am sorry to hear this. I can only imagine how uncomfy he is right now and it doesn't help being in a room and bed that isn't yours. My heart and prays are with you both. I have spent my fair share of time in the hospital for different reasons and to be honest...it can be a pain in the but to get much needed sleep there when the nurses come in to check on you and make you take meds. I hope they don't do that to your husband. I also hope you are able to get some sleep too.

O_O He'll be ok! We're gunna bombard with hopeful and good thoughts!

Though I wish I could do more than just that.... *Gives e-hugs!* I hope he gets better soon.... =\

Make sure he gets D, C and B complex as long as the doctor is OK with that. Hospital food, despite being overseen by a nuritionist, is horrible about not having enough "healing" vitamins.

My thoughts are with you and your hubby. May he get better soon.

You and your husband are in my thoughts and prayers. May he heal quickly and cleanly.

Oh no appendix bursts are not good! I hope he recovers quickly!

All the good thoughts I can spare (sorry, but my friend had surgery last night too so most are going to her) are aimed at your hubby - hope he recovers soon!

Best blessings and prayers for your husband and for you!

That's just fine. Besides, I think it's the intent that matters, not how long you spend at it.

Hope your friend is ok!

Thanks to all for the good thoughts.
