First and Foremost

Sitting at work, thinking of Alex in the hospital and wanting nothing more than to be next to him.

But alas, I must earn a paycheck.

Let's recap the weekend:

10:30 Sunday night Alex was experiencing severe pain in his abdomin and I took him to the ER.

12 midnight finally see the nurse to start with tests and possible diagnosis.

2:15 Monday morning Alex was taken to get a CATscan to see what the deal was all about.

2:45 Monday morning we found out that Alex had accute appendecitis, and was scheduled for surgery around 6:30 that morning.

4:00 Monday morning Alex was finally moved to a room. I slept in a chair next to his bed.

7:00 Monday morning we were awaken (from very light sleep) to be told that we would go down to surgery shortly.

8:00 Monday morning Alex was finally moved to surgery. I went to the waiting room.

9:30 Monday morning the doctor who operated on Alex found me and told me that it was more serious than we first thought. His appendix had actually ruptured and that was why he was in SO much pain. I was told that Alex was flushed out of all the poison and that he would be fine. But he would have to be in the hospital for the next few days.

9:45 to 12 noon I made phone calls to parents, friends and all who would be interested.

12 noon Alex finally woke up and was moved from recovery to his new room.

12 noon to 10:30pm I stayed with Alex and we watched movies and talked and tried to find ways to entertain ourselves.

Tuesday I was at work while my parents went to visit Alex.

6:00 to 10:00 Tuesday night I perfected the art of creating the most comfortable position in a hospital chair as we watched movies and chatted with the nurses. Still waiting to hear when Alex could go home, but getting no definitive answers.

Wednesday I am still at work and wandering how Alex is doing. His friend Kenna went to visit him so that he is not alone. I plan on leaving early so i can get to the hospital asap.

We still don't know when he can go home.


Poor guy.




I hope the next update will be happier!
