Home from hospital yesterday on Day 12 @Reggie We are so thrilled to have our son back home and already starting to behave like his usual dry humoured 14yo self! It will be a slow transition back to school as he had major surgery and csnt yet stand up straight or carry a bag.
Here is a photo from his hospital room. A great view right? This tower is lit up for different events and this month is its 27th birthday hence birthday colours.

CarolynM I‘ve been out of circulation for a bit so I‘ve just seen your recent posts. What an awful time you must have been having. I‘m so glad he‘s home and on the mend. Love to you all💕 5mo
Bookwormjillk So glad he‘s home! 5mo

squirrelbrain Glad to hear he‘s home and getting better. 5mo
Centique @CarolynM it has been a rollercoaster Carolyn. Until they operated they werent entirely sure whether something else was behind the appendix bursting so that was an anxious wait to find out. So much relief now 💕 5mo
BarbaraBB So happy for you all! ❤️ 5mo
youneverarrived That‘s great news he‘s back home ♥️ 5mo
Suet624 I‘m sorry you all went through this!! 4mo
RohitSawant Only now seeing the posts about your son. That must‘ve been such a scare. So glad to hear he‘s back home and recovering. Sending healing vibes 🩵 4mo
Centique @RohitSawant thank you so much Rohit. It was really scary. We had some post operative problems too so August was a stressful month. So glad to have that behind us now 💕 4mo
Centique @RohitSawant how has your health been Rohit? I remember you saying that you had a medical event earlier this year? I hope things have been improving 💕 4mo
RohitSawant @Centique I‘m much better now. Thanks, Paula 💖 Back then even climbing stairs was a task but things have been better since. It can still be overwhelming sometimes, especially mentally, but making adjustments one day at a time. 4mo
Centique @RohitSawant you really have been through a lot Rohit! 💕 health is such a huge thing and so personal and something we can be at the mercy of in many ways. Everyone going through this serious stuff deserves a medal - its as hard as climbing a mountain, and can feel so invisible, so slow to get anywhere, so a tribute to your efforts and all you have accomplished in getting through to this point! 💕💕 4mo
RohitSawant @Centique You‘re too kind, Paula! 💖 So true about how much we‘re at the mercy of our health. Navigating it after a setback can be arduous in many ways. While healing takes time, what equally makes a difference is the kindness and support of people, such as yourself, so thank you! 😊 4mo

Day 5 of my son‘s hospital stay and he‘s still nil by mouth and on multiple IVs for fluids, antibiotics, proteins, lipids and electrolytes. Just incredible to think how much medical intervention has been necessary (post burst appendix for 3 days) and how fortunate we are to be getting such good care. And glad that we can get this in a ward and not ICU so that he can be in a more comfortable environment. Appreciate all the support from Littens!

Bookwormjillk Poor kid. I hope he‘s out soon. I‘m glad you‘re not in the ICU. Thinking of you all ❤️ 5mo

So it turned out my 14yo sons gastro wasnt gastro. Despite two doctors telling us it definitely wasnt his appendix over the last 4 days, it was. Apparently he had few of the signs. But meantime it had ruptured and done further damage through a terrible infection. Hes in having quite a large surgery now as they need to explore around the whole area to fix any damage, not just a lapsroscopy. So glad we are in the right place now! ⬇️

Centique Appreciate any good thoughts or prayers 💕 5mo
Ladygodiva7 Auughhh!! Prayers to your son!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 5mo
