Testing out the water with Grandma Patti
Nora dug a long way down and found water!
Then Kelsey got a perforated appendix and landed in the hospital
Noah and Max got to come on Friday and visit. The kids did fun things while we were the in hospital, we just didn't get to join them! They went to a park and went out to eat. On Saturday morning James, Charlie, and their other grandpa did a Tough Mudder and most of the kids went to watch!
Kelsey got out on Saturday afternoon and every left town Sunday morning. Here's Noah and Mama seeing everyone off!
Then Noah and Lisa went to Pride!
And met up with Frankie!
Mo and Mama stayed back, he needed to work on his climbing skills!

Kelsey's surgery is scheduled for August 22. Technically the antibiotics will address the appendicitis but I want to get my appendix out so it doesn't happen again. They can't do the surgery until the swelling goes down. But no current restrictions, just gotta wait!
