Jude made it home with no tubes or drains attached to his body. He just has one little gauze bandage that we can take off as soon as he is emotionally prepared to separate. :) He is very tired, and still in a fair bit of pain, but all in all he seems to be himself. He will have surgery to remove his appendix on Dec. 7. When I told him the plan -- he'll take medicine (antibiotics) for a couple of weeks, and then we'll visit the surgeon to see how he's doing, and then after Thanksgiving he'll go back to the hospital to get his appendix out -- Jude cheered. I suppose the pain associated with the hospital is surpassed by the abundance of attention he received there.
We're in for a quiet week. My parents, God bless them, are hosting Owen at their house for the week. Sam will be in school, and we can move at Jude's pace for several days. I'm sure that will be good for all of us.
