Well we just finished buying all the things we need for our trip to Africa, our bags are nearly packed and we couldn't be more excited to leave on Thursday... so if you know us, you know what that means! Appendectomy!

To make a very long story short, Kristin and I ended up in the emergency room last night with her having some very extreme stomach pain. After waiting hours in the waiting room with all manner of homeless and mentally ill individuals, we finally got in to see a doctor. After a few hours of exams from multiple doctors, as well as a CT scan, they determined that her appendix needed to be removed ASAP.

Kristin, making her best sad face.

This was at about 2:00 AM, so we spent the next few hours at the hospital and Kristin had surgery this morning at about 6:30 AM. It went quickly and well, and you can hardly see the incisions. She's recovering now and doing great. She should be released tomorrow and we'll head home and try to sort out our trip to Africa... We'll keep you up to date.
