After an entire evening of pain, we went to a local clinic to get Annie checked out. We were referred to go to the ER to have it examined further, with a strong suspicion that she had appendicitis.

After further examination at the ER, the doctors concluded that she needed an appendectomy immediately.

Here’s a photo of Annie before her operation. I’m now in the waiting room with her family. The doctor just came out and informed us that the operation went well and she’s in the recovery room. She’ll be in some discomfort for the next few days, so send her your wishes below in the comments or say hello to her on Facebook.

If you’re curious, here’s a video about appendicitis and the surgery.
