My thoughts are with Rachel and your family.

My nephew’s appendix burst a few weeks ago. He has a high pain threshold, he thought he had a stomachache and it would go away. By the time he got a fever, gangrene had set in. He was a very sick young man. Prayers really saved his life, and guided the doctors hands and treatment. It will take awhile for him to recover, but he is doing well.

I will pray for Rachel and your family, prayer does make a difference.

Don't worry Judith, she will be okay. She is young and resiliant.

My hubby had his appendix rupture when he was in his late 40s. He was in the emergency room for 5 hours, plus all the time it took to get him to the hospital. They had to remove his intestines and spray them off to remove the poison. He was a sick puppy for about 12 days, but he recovered, with a whole new attitude about life, I might add.

Certainly, we will pray for your granddaughter.

Thank God for modern medicine. It wasn’t that many years ago that a ruptured appendix was a death sentence. Now it means three or four days in the hospital. Still, not a fun experience. Believe me, I know. If I had lived in an earlier age I would have been dead at the age of 53. Instead I was hiking in the mountains two weeks later.
Prayers for your granddaughter for a quick, uneventful recovery.

I will pray for her and your family. My brother’s appendix burst and he was in ICU for weeks. It took weeks of antibiotics and “flusing out” his system and it worked. I pray for the same with your loved one.

Judith Anne, my prayers are with your daughter. I went through a similar situation with my 5 year old daughter about 6 weeks ago. She was feverish and had stomach aches, me and my wife thought she had the stomach flu. The following day we took her to the emergency as she was complaining of a real bad stomach pain, she was in tears. We waited in the emergency room for 7 1/2 hours before anyone realized that by then her appendix bursted. She had to have emergency surgery, she made it through and stayed in the hospital for 7 days, she is better now but still has a long recovery ahead of her, my aunt is a nurse and said it would take about a year for her insides to fully heal.Every time she complains now of a stomach ache we freak out and have taken her back to the doctors on several occassions just to confirm, as I am typing this she is sick right now with vomiting and fever, even though she may just have the flu that situation makes me think twice about anything. Your granddaughter will be okay as a parent though it is stressful. Again my prayers are with her.
