Update

Hey everyone! How the heck is everyone...

well another update...

On Thursday Tait and I went to a fund raiser to my work and throughout the evening Tait kept complaining of a side ache. So he decided that he was going to send Tanna to come play bingo for the fund raiser so we could continue to have fun. Well so that's what we did. Tait switched Tanna out and Tanna and I played Bingo... we got close on a couple of the pull tabs but nothing exciting. Well we were getting ready to start the final game when I looked down at my cell phone and I noticed that I had a text message. Well Tait had texted me saying he was going to the hospital. Well so Tanna called them to find out what was going on. We decided to ditch bingo... We told my boss what was going on and we got out of there. We went to hospital and Tait was in his groovy gown waiting to see the doctor. Well after hours of waiting the doctor did finally show up and such.

They gave him some stuff to drink that would be able to see in his tummy through at CAT scan and let me tell you that was rough... his tummy didn't like it much. So after he got done drinking that stuff they came in and got him for the scan and they wheeled him away. He came back and again after HOURS of waiting for some results they told him that they were going to admit him. They told him that they needed to see the doctor before they could tell us anything and the nurse said it was for observation. Which we had already been there for about 8 hours of observation. Well the doctor FINALLY came in and told us that his appendix had to come out it was infected. SOOOOOOOOO I made a quick dash home to get clothes for Lehna, Tait, myself and to get prepared to a couple of days away from home. Helen and Tim took Lehna for the weekend which was nice and I let the puppies out at home. I came back to the hospital and I was once again waiting to hear from the surgeon. Well I guess the nurse told Tait that the surgery was scheduled for later on that afternoon. So I slept on the couch while Tait got some much needed rest. Well after a couple of hours they finally told us that it would be the afternoon and by that time I had had a chance to call all of our bosses to let them know what was going on. Most of them were concerned for Tait and making sure he was doing okay. Well finally they came and got him and took him to surgery at about 1:30 and Tait's grandparents took Trent and I down to eat which was really nice. After the surgery we went back upstairs to a VERY sleepy Tait and he was pretty out of it. Helen and Tim brought Lehna in a couple of times to see her daddy but they were on their wayto Peru for the weekend. So after that I told Tait that I had to go home and get some sleep so I did. The next morning I was up at there early and seeing how Tait was feeling. He was still pretty sleepy but not too bad. So we got to go home that day which was REALLY nice. They sent us home by 2:30 and Tait was home by 3 p.m.

Tait was pretty ouchy the whole weekend he couldn't really move or bend so I took care of him. Making his lunch and dinner and stuff normal stuff. He's feeling better today but he's still icky feeling. He has a doctor's appointment tomorrow so hopefully they will release him back to work but it may not we'll see. He said he felt warm and he did have a temp of 99.7 today so I told him to watch it... b/c the pain meds he's on he can't have any tylenol or anything like that. So we'll see what happens. It goes from one extereme to another around her doesn't it...
