Lack of sleep sucks! I was at the emergency room for 7 hours last night with my 8 year old son. I thought he had appendicitis, severe pain in his lower right abdomin, low grade fever, couldn't straighten up without wincing in pain, but after being poked and proded and going through a catscan they found out he has Messenteric Adenitis which is an infection in his lymphnods the has basically the same symptons as appendicitis. It was very stressful and I was very worried and my husband couldn't be with me so I was alone and my son was scared, and so was I. But it all will be fine, they can treat it with antibiotics and told me that its a fairly common thing I've just never heard of it. On the up side I didn't eat anything last night because we left for the ER before supper and I didn't want to eat in front of my son when he could eat, because we didn't know what was going on and by the time we got home I was so tired and stressed out all I wanted to do was go to bed. Hope everyone has a great day today. And thanks for listening or should I say reading. I really appreciate all the comments and encouragment I get from everyone on this site!! We can do this!!!
