This is Landon in the ER and Landon's anestheologist Dr. Carson (who also did DAD)
He worked Christmas night all night (Dec 25,2010). He came home around 6 am and was ready to go to sleep, but couldn't because he had stomache pain. We thought it was the flu, but he did not have any other symptoms. Bill and I went to sacrament meeting and I set him up with tums, sprite and took his temp which he was afebrille. When I got home from church, he informed me that it was worse and he felt the need to go to the ER. (Well I wasn't happy to return again to the hospital since I just left there). But I did it for Landon's sake and I believed him and knew he must be really sick to want to go to the ER. We waited about 1 hour and 20 minutes, it was not too busy when we got their at 3 p.m. We finally got into an ER room and they examined him and Dr. Hansler (Surgeon) told him that he needed his appendix removed and that it was not a good idea to let it go, with fear it would rupture and Landon's pain was significant. So after his IV fluids were started and antibiotic given, Landon was off to surgery around 7:30 p.m. His surgery took 1 hour and then he was in recovery for 1 and 1/2 hours, then we met him in his room on the surgical floor room 2224. He looked surprisly good, with not too much pain after surgery. His dressings looked good and the only thing he had was a little nausea with incisional pain. We made sure he was all squared away in his room and then left around 9:30p.m because Dad was having his surgery in the morning. Landon wanted to get some rest and had a nurse that I knew well, so he was in good hands.
