The Emergency Appendectomy

As most of you already know, Todd was in the oilfield when he became extremely ill. At first the medic thought he was passing a kidney stone. He had all the symptoms. After discovering that his white blood count was more than double what it should be, the medic and the doctor in Anchorage decided that it probably was his appendix. He was Medi Vacced to Fairbanks where they determined that it was his appendix and he was taken into emergency surgery. During the surgery, the doctor found that his appendix had perforated and leaked into his abdominal cavity. Todd spent 5 days in the hospital recovering. I stayed everyday at the hospital as well since they had food and cable tv. Todd is getting better every day and should be back in action soon.
