Craig's Appendices

So, who knew--2 posts in 2 days. I guess I have a little extra alone time lately, and not having the pressure to have pictures to post has lessened my blog anxiety. I'm slowly warming up, so hopefully we'll have some pictures soon. So, yeah, Craig's in the hospital. He had his appendix out 2 weeks ago, and then last Monday, he started to feel a lot of pain. By Wednesday he had a fever, so we called the doctor, who brushed us off. He told Craig to wait it out, but he could go to the ER if he really wanted to. So, we waited because the doctor made it sound like not such a big deal. By Friday, Craig had unbearable pain and a spiking fever. He, of course, still went to hear Justice Alito of the Supreme Court speak at Creighton (okay okay, with a bit of my prodding, since I was so jealous that he got to go), and we took him to the ER around 11 that night. They immediately admitted him, scanned him, and stuck a drain in his side to drain the MASSIVE abscess that had set up house where his appendix was 2 weeks ago! He's still there today, but if all goes well tomorrow, the plan is to have him home by tomorrow night. He's still in a fair amount of pain, but thanks to loritab and vicodin, it's mostly controlled. K, well, there's the story.
