One Less Appendix

We are now down one appendix - after a brief but excruciating bout of pain and a fast drive to the ER, Curtis had an emergency appendectomy, resulting in an overnight hospital stay (his first) and now lots of babying at home. I know that's a lot of information for one sentence, but it was a lot of information in the space of 2 hours! But all is well, it didn't rupture, and Curtis is now on the mend.

I figured you didn't want to see the actual scar (it is in fact sort of boring since it's covered in glue), but here is a diagram showing the location of the appendix (or where Curtis's used to be).

Needless to say, our plans for the next 2 weeks have been completely upended.

In other news, we had a visitor today. After 2 days of rain, this little fellow came out to explore and Toby and I had a little biology lesson about snails. Toby was very cute about the whole thing.

We also had fun with crayons this morning :)
And here is Ms. Lucy Potato Head.

So it is raining, we are all stuck in the house, Curtis is laid up, Lucy is teething, and Toby is still exploring the tantrum possibilities available to three year olds. Fun times.
