His body didn't want his appendix anymore, so after several hours of belly button pain, we all knew that it was time to get him checked out at the ER.
Yup.
Belly button pain is how it started for Mom, Dad, Abuelita and me.
His reaction to the news that he needed surgery?
Hysterically funny.
Eww. No way.
I'm not into dead body parts of any kind! Especially after discovering somebody's umbilical chord tucked inside a Bible.
Yup.
Ricardo had us rolling with laughter. You see, my son is not usually the bravest one.
I guess that he somehow toughens up under pressure. He he heee!
They ended up transferring him from Osceola Regional to Arnold Palmer in Orlando and he was simply having a blast.
If I was nervous about his procedure, he somehow managed to love away my nerves with his great sense of humor and excitement.
You see, Ricardo is my healthy child, so he rarely ever visits the doctor.
To him, this was like an adventure!
LOL!
An avid fan of the Discovery Channel and hospital reality shows, my son was suddenly making this appendicitis reality look like the coolest thing in the world.
He had surgery early this morning and right now we are here, chilling. He can only have soup and gelatin, which is fine with him. I already cloth bathed him and got him into his new pajamas and he is quite content with the video console and games that the nurses brought in for him.
Me?
I'm about to settle down to watch a Netflix movie online because THERE IS INTERNET! Yay!!!!!
Ricardo is already walking and going to the bathroom by himself and I am totally cool with that. He says that it hurts, but that it's not really that bad anymore. This morning after he came out of surgery he was not a very happy camper.
It's all good now, praise G-d.
We thank all our friends who lifted him up in prayer last night and this morning.
The doctor told us that he will probably be ready to leave tomorrow. Whoo hooo!
