Appendicitis

Well tonight Joel is getting his appendix out. He had a terrible amount of pain and was vomiting today in the boat. He ended up in the ER in Platte right when I was at work! Luckily, I have great co-workers and they covered for me so I could be with Joel. I had to take him to Queen of Peace hospital in Mitchell! I drove about 80mph the whole way there. It was the longest drive to Mitchell I've ever experienced! But we made it, and the doctors and nurses here are really great. They were all really great at Platte, too. They have internet here, which is AWESOME! Joel was in so much misery...but everyone was really nice. Once some of the pain meds kicked in, Joel got to talking with the surgeon about fishing in Canada...I thought maybe he was going to book a fishing trip right there in the hospital...LOL. Anyway, I'm praying for him right now, he's in surgery as I am typing this. I know he'll be okay. This is the biggest thing health-wise that has happened to us since we've know eachother. But God is in control!!
LOVE Y'ALL!
