Appendix

What we thought was a stomach bug ended up with a trip to the hospital to have an emergency surgery to remove Mason's appendix. WOW what a day! Bless his heart he was such a big boy and hardly cried a bit. He felt so bad and by the end of the day could barely walk it hurt so bad. We are so thankful our sweet friend and nurse practitioner was overly cautious and sent him to have a CT scan. It could have been much worse had we just waited. We are thankful for the kind surgeon that took such great care of him. We are thankful for all the prayers, calls, texts, and visits. He is doing well now and back to his "old self". I took pictures throughout and he loves to look back at them (bc he doesn't remember much from the day).

So sick...and such a trooper.  Waiting patiently to get that nasty appendix out.



Right before going back...he would have taken my hand with him if he could have!  He wanted  Brian and I close by at all times!!

Getting some good rest!



Dalton came bringing gifts from the 9U Dirtbags and  13U Dirtbags.  His younger brother Brody is on the team with Braxton. Mason loves Dalton and it made his day to see him and to get a hat like the "big boys". 

Walking the halls...it was actually nice to get out of that room!

Dearest Mason,
     You are now a big 6 year old...where has the time gone?? You bring so much excitement to our home. You are so full of energy all the time, you never stop because if you do you are asleep in about 30 seconds. You have a smile that melts my heart,  and I love how you still sit in my lap and love on me. I have so enjoyed this year with you, being at the same school was such a wonderful experience and I will miss seeing you light up when we pass in the hallway and your trips down to my room just to get a hug. You let me kiss all over you in front of everyone and it doesn't bother you one bit! You have turned out to be quit the student this year...serves me right for doubting you!! We are so proud of you and we are enjoying seeing the changes in you. We love you so
much!!
