Appendectomy, anyone?

In the hospital awaiting surgery. She looks so sad, poor little girl. It didn't help that she would be missing her very first soccor game AND her summer tumbling review. :(


Long story short. . .

Avery woke up early Saturday morning with a really bad tummy ache and "not the throw-up, go to the bathroom kind". :) Poor thing! I took her to the Instacare, they took her blood and urine and ran some tests, told us she was having appendicitis and sent us over to the hospital for surgery. Whoa!

This picture is very deceiving considering the way she felt!


She's only smiling because after going through yet another poke {they poked her twice at the doctors office and twice at the hospital, she was not happy} to get her IV in, they gave her this cute Strawberry Shortcake blanket.
She was pleased as punch about it!

After surgery she was pretty groggy for awhile and had a hard time waking up. Sleepy girl.


She was a trooper though and was even able to come home Saturday night. :)

It's only been 3 days and she is doing awesome! She hasn't taken any pain medication since the hospital and she's walking around and getting up and down all with a smile on her face as if nothing had happened. She's one of the bravest little girls I know! :)

P.S. She was super bummed about missing out on getting her medal from her tumbling review.

Don't worry sweetheart, Mommy's gotcha covered. I'm picking it up for ya tonight! :)

Poor girl she looks totally miserable in that one picture. Glad they gave her a blanket to cheer her up. Hope she feels better soon.
