My 12 yo granddaughter, named Rachel, was taken by her mom, (my daughter) to the ER last night with a bad stomach ache and a fever. Her dad, my son-in-law, stayed home with the other two kids.
At 11pm they called me to come and stay with the younger children because Rachel was going into surgery. By the time they operated, it had been seeping pus (had burst) and now she is very very sick. She's on two IV antibiotics, glassy-eyed, feverish, and sort of out of it.
I'm so upset! She waited 2-1/2 hours in a very slow ER--in agonizing pain, and now this! They don't know when she'll be released--certainly not till she's without a fever for 24 hours; at least her kidneys are functioning okay right now.
Please pray for her recovery--I ask not for myself, but for her sake, and my daughter and her husband who are worried sick, and so is her little sister.
Thank you so much. I've known people who've had this happen, and none of them look as sick as poor Rachel does.
Bless your granddaughter. She will be in my prayers.
Rachel will be fine. The danger is from biotic blood poisoning. She will be there about a week. I still have my appendix. Ask the surgeon what the purpose of our appendixes are when you see him. Tell him I think it’s where hot peppers and beans join up to make greasy, smelly loud gasses.

Prayers Up...
My AF son just had that happen to him last month the night
before he was to be deployed to Iraq. It was quite an ordeal
and he was in the hospital for 2 weeks, but he’s doing much
better now, thanks to the wonderful hospital in OKC...and a
great doctor and staff!
I pray that your granddaughter will be healed quickly by
the grace of God! God give you and the rest of her family
strength.

“Temporarily Unavailable” happened. Sorry!
Prayers for Rachael, your daughter and her family .. and you, Judith Anne. Kids have a remarkable way of bouncing back and we’ll trust she’ll be back to peak before you know it.
So that's it's purpose. I have relatives that are slobs at the dinner table without one.
Prayers being said now. ~Pandora~

Prayers for your granddaughter.
The same thing happened to my daughter (who is in her early thirties).
It was very sudden. She had the pain coming home from work and the next morning went to E.R. I don’t know when it burst but they operated that night.
A lot of infection went into the abdominal cavity. She was in the hospital ten days. She didn’t eat solid food and had a tube down her nose to drain stuff out of her stomach. She was getting intravenous antibiotics.
Finally she was released and is now doing well. However, 10 days after being released, she started feeling bad and some stuff had drained from the incision or something and she had to go back in hospital.
All told she was there 19 days, but she’ll be fine and I’m sure your little one will be as well. They have really good anti-biotics now to treat this situation.
Prayers up for your granddaughter, your whole family, and the doctors and nurses treating her!
I ‘ll pray...
please let us know how shes doing...
Saying prayers for Rachel! You take care of yourself too.
Prayers sent.
