After the thrill and excitement of Ada's birthday party and family visiting (blogpost coming soon, i hope!) , Bjørn's appendix decided to also make his debut! This involved Bjørn laying at home for 3 days in excruciating pain, until we finally got him to the ER, diagnosed and operated on. Mr. Appendix had already ruptured, though just a little bit. And we know that God took care of Bjørn and his appendix through it all.
It's true, while waiting for the operation in the hospital room, Bjørn was a little sad to think of losing a body part. Yet by the time he got home, and pain was much less, he knew it was right to let the little guy go. His sister-in-law, Jill sent him a poem to morn the loss of Mr. Appendix, and so without further adieu, I give you...
"The Appendix."
A small little boy, not even age six
Asked me today "What's an appendix?"
I had to admit, I used to not know
Until my brother in law had to let his go.
An appendix is an organ we don't really need
So why do we have it? Some might call it greed.
And when the time comes to cut one loose,
We must try to remember it served no use.
Releasing your appendix, Bjorn, was not easy to do,
Except when it turned around and tried to kill you!
Adios Appendix!
