Full recovery, started at 11pm at 6am he was screaming and had an ambulance. The wait for surgery was due to Crohn’s disease the surgeons said it was a flare involving the appendix his gastros said it was his appendix. Three days of fighting and they brought in a special radiologist to compare a mri from the year before to the current ct scan. That still didn’t convince them. They wanted to send him home with prednisone and antibiotics. Finally they agreed to do surgery after a second ct scan that showed it had ruptured and also decided to remove a foot of large intestine that was slightly scarred. The stupid thing is he had a mri in January 2019 and this happened March 2020, every surgeon and their resident(every single one for three days, no joking) said the mri from 3 months ago is slightly worse then the current ct scan, it’s a flare. You’d have to tell them that mri was from 2019, 15 months ago and he just had a colonoscopy in February a month before that showed no inflammation. And they’d say, that’s besides the point lol, how’s that besides the point you don’t even know the proper time frame and current colonoscopy. You’d think they’d mark that down so the next surgeon to walk in wouldn’t look like a complete idiot and they could also reconsider at their morning meetings. After I believe the third surgeon the first day and my brother correcting them and them claiming the dates and colonoscopy didn’t matter my brother who’s a hospital administrator at a different hospital system(ambulance wouldn’t take him there) said anything you say after this is meaningless, you can’t even read the proper dates on the scans and keep saying 3 months, there’s a huge difference between 3 months and 15 months and a clean colonoscopy from a month ago. The only problem besides the fluid and feeling awful was his bowels stopped working for 2 weeks, it’s usually 1-4 days tops. They tried everything, then after two weeks it started, once an hour and each do it would get slightly better. When he finally made it home it was 8 times a day, and finally 5 months later in august he got his energy back and normal bowel movements. When he was checked in a few times at my brothers hospital system that kid was treated like a king he was 8 and 11 those times, just a little kid, nurses hung out in his room and would talk to him, would bring him stuff without asking and all kinds of other stuff. The nurses eventually would ask him, hey you know this machine over here isn’t working or the machine in this other room isn’t working we’ve been trying to get it replaced for months can you do something about it. My nephew would pick up the phone, dial his dads extension and say dad this machine needs to be fixed or replaced and within an hour they’d have a working machine. It got all the way down to all the shelf brackets being replaced and extra blankets on the children’s ward. New video game carts since there weren’t enough due to some being broken. They loved him, he was a mini hospital administrator and even though he was sick he’d help, that’s just the kind of kid he is, no matter how bad he feels he’ll always help someone.
