Acute Appendicitis

Well, I will probably go into more detail about the Unity Experience at a later date (suffice it to say, we realize now why many people opt to use an ER 35 minutes away instead of the one in their own backyard).

Friday, around 4 pm, I called our pediatrician to get a "second opinion" of what I thought MIGHT be a possible appendicitis in Haley. She looked green. She couldn't stand without feeling dizzy and nauseous, she had a fever, and her side ached.

Around 4:20, the pediatrician's nurse called and said it'd be a good idea to go the ER and get Haley checked out. So, by 4:30 pm we were there. Within a few hours it was definite that she had atypical acute appendicitis and she was prepped for and emergency appendectomy.

(Note the time....All the details left out here might come in another post)

By 2 am, Haley was finally without her very inflamed appendix, which was also wrapped around her colon. No wonder she felt so horrible all day.

So...there she is for another night. We hope to bring her home Sunday and perhaps everyone in our household will get a nice long nap.

Oh...she asked if she could keep her appendix in a jar.

Nope.

It has to be examined in a lab.

Bummer.

It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
It is cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cured. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Parkinson, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Syndrome, Cancers, HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, and any kind of disease & Infections Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching, honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
