Just a little surgery... for fun on a Friday

Well, I'm not winning any wife of the year awards this month. 
Ryan has been complaining for a few days about a dull ache in his abdomen.
He rarely ever complains about anything but I think I might have told him a few times to drink some water and rest and I'm sure it will be fine.
Well,  whoops. He finally decided to go to the ER as the pain was getting worse Friday morning.
They checked him in and started running tests. 
By the time Mikenna woke up from her nap I figured we would go down and visit him since he had been there for so long. 
Mikenna got tired of sitting in the ER and thankfully my sister Heather was able to take her while I went back. That night they concluded it was his appendix and scheduled emergency surgery right away.
So at about 11:00 pm on a Friday night we were partying it up at Sutter getting a little surgery.
Ryan came out fine (although he's pretty hilarious when he's groggy.)
I planned on going back home to be with Mikenna but my sad, drugged husband looked up at me and said, "please don't leave me!"
I talked Grammy and Aitachi into going to stay at our house and thankfully Titi had already put Mikenna to bed.
I got to find out how it feels to sleep on those teeny tiny window beds taking care of your spouse all night. (FYI, not fun at 22 weeks pregnant, in case you were wondering.)
Ryan felt a lot better by morning and they told him he would be released later in the morning. 
I didn't have time to eat dinner the night before and my growling stomach kept me up all night so I decided to head home, grab Mikenna, and shove some food in my mouth before coming back. I ate two breakfasts in a row. (Hey, it's for the baby.)
Kenna was very happy to see that her Daddy was doing ok.
She was worried after seeing him in the hospital the day before. She took his food order, tried on some gloves and band-aids, and did a good job of keeping our spirits up. :) 
We are so glad our favorite man in the world is ok after that little scare and that bad appendix of his is gone!
