Appendicitis

Small interruption. Here's the story. Jeremy and I got married on Saturday - on Monday we road tripped out to Taos, NM for our honeymoon (it was beautiful - more on that later). On Tuesday Jeremy started to feel a little funny. By Thursday morning he was ready to go to the hospital with stomach pains.

I've been itching to get out of town for a while now but as of early Thursday morning I didn't want to be anywhere but home.

Half the way home - outside of Amarillo, TX.
While neither of us wanted to cut our honeymoon short we had to follow our gut. I drove us 9 hours back to Oklahoma City (going 90mph the entire way) and we went straight to the emergency room.

Jeremy was diagnosed with appendicitis. He's having it removed in just a couple hours.

We'll have the rest of our lives for honeymoons - right now I'm more concerned with being his wife.

  2. HOLY CRAP.

    Its like that episode of Diff'rent Strokes where Arnold has a tummy ache and wont tell anyone. Except Jeremy saw that episode and learned that he had to tell!

    I wonder how many people that episode saved.

  7. Rachel - I thought of your UC flare up in France when all of this was going down. I can't even imagine. Thanks for the well wishes! He's already doing better.

  9. Ahh, yes, the infamous UC flare in France. Deeelightful. I'm so so glad that this was a (relatively) easy fix for him and that he'll have a speedy recovery!
