Thank you to everyone for all your prayers.

I know KathyM, I am very upset about the fact that 2 or more Doctors missed a rather simple diagnosis. You know what they tell doctors... "Don't go looking for zebra's when it could just as easily be a horse". Yep, they missed a horse!

Because of the rupture and the amount of infection held in the sack (thank God), around the appendix, they are not able to do surgery or even insert a drainage tube. He had surgery on Friday to insert a pic line into the artery in the middle of his chest. He now has to have IV antibiotics 3 x a day for the next 4 weeks. Hopefully that will work to help clear up the majority of the infection, and then 2 to 3 months down the line they will be able to remove the appendix.

He is a very sick little boy, all for the want of a simple blood test. Your right KathyM, it makes me mad, really mad....... And then I get really sad too.

Thank you all, for praying for this little boy and please keep on praying!

thanks everyone
