After a mostly sleepless night of stomach pain, Jonathan checked into the emergency room on Tuesday morning. The doctors soon diagnosed him with appendicitis, and that night he underwent an operation to have his infected, bulging appendix removed. Luckily, this is a common, relatively simple operation, accomplished thru three or four slits cut in the lower abdomen.
With the best of company at his side (i.e., Jenelle and Annika), Jonathan recuperated in the hospital Wednesday morning and afternoon, and then was sent home. He’ll take it easy for the rest of the week, and then return to his daily activities, confident that he’ll never have appendicitis again.
