May 3 - ER

Yes, this is exactly what it looks like, Jason laying on a hospital bed in the ER. How you may ask did he end up here? Well you see he got up and went to class and then came home and went straight back to bed. I figured that since he had an early class he was just tired, so I let him sleep. I came home from work around 6 pm and he was still in bed! I joked around with him and told him he was lazy, but all he wanted to do was sleep, and he said that his tummy hurt. He frequently gets stomach aches and so I didn't think anything about it. I went on with my night doing homework, going to the library, and all sorts of stuff. Around 11 pm he finally got out of bed and was saying that his tummy really hurt and he could barely walk, we started doing research on the computer. From everything that we read we were pretty sure it was his appendix. We figured that we should go to the hospital but we knew it was going to be expensive so we decided that we would just wait until 8 in the morning when the student health center opened. He didn't really ever start feeling better, so around midnight we called some people in the ward and they came over and gave him a blessing. We sat around for another hour doing more research and everything that we found said that if we suspect that it was an appendix, then go in IMMEDIATELY because it is a very serious condition! Jason didn't really want to go in, but I told him that if I woke up in the morning and he didn't wake up next to me, that I was going to be ticked at him! He finally decided that he would rather be safe than sorry, so we loaded up in the car and went to the ER. We checked in at 1:09 am...this picture is Jason being a good sport and waiting for the doctors and all the results. We waited so long, for being an "emergency," they sure were slow!!!
 Turns out that it was appendicitis, and he had to have his appendix removed. Definitely was a long sleepless night, but on the bright side I did get a lot of homework done! Note to self, go to the hospital earlier in the day instead of waiting until the time when you should be sleeping!
