Chloe Singing

Chloe sang a solo in our Sacrament Primary program. Of course all of the songs were in spanish, but they asked Chloe to sing the first verse of I am a Child of God in english and then the rest of the primary joined in and sang the next 2 verses in spanish.

I am writing this from the hospital...

We actually get a wireless signal in the hospital. Who knew?!?
Why are we here you ask???
Monday evening Tyler told me his stomach was hurting. At bed time he said it was getting worse and it really hurt. I told him it was probably just food poisoning from the Subway he ate at lunch. I told him it would pass as soon as everything was out of his system. Well, even after all his dinner came up he was still in terrible pain. He couldnt lie down, he couldnt sit down. He couldnt be still. He kinda wandered around the house all night. In the morning I asked him where it hurt & he pointed directly to his right side--exactly where his appendix is (well at least exactly where my appendectomy scar is). I laughed and told him he was going to have to have his appendix taken out--in Mexico!!! He said, no way. To make a long story very short, Doctor Enrique came by for a housecall. After doing some examination stuff, the doc said it was classic, textbook appendicitis. 2 hours later Tyler was being taken into surgery. And guess what he survived.
Before surgery, several of our friends called to see who the surgeon was--apparently there are some practicing doctors who take your money, do the surgery, but dont actually remove anything. But, we were assured we had the best 2 doctors. It is all laproscopic (I hope I spelled that right) so Tyler has 3 small incisions. And the best part of all, the surgeon left us a DVD of the whole thing. So, if it really is Tyler's insides in the video, we have a great souvenier. HeeHee!
Tyler is now recovering nicely, enjoying lots of jello and tortillas! He is taking it easy and will be released from the hospital tomorrow. Thank goodness!
