It is from yesterday morning that my brother has accused stomach pains. At first, we thought our family that he had eaten something that has hurt. After spending a whole day in bed, this morning he woke up again with the same pains. Not knowing what to do we called the ambulance and we brought him to the hospital. After a morning of various medical tests, the doctors at the end came to the conclusion that my brother had surgery for appendicitis. At 18.00 he was already in the operating room. About an hour later me and my mother arrived at the hospital and he had just been operated on and placed on the ward. The operation was successful, fortunately. Now he was hospitalized since it is still under the effect of the intervention, but I expect that tomorrow or at the latest on Sunday, he returns home. All right, that ends well!

Hello there ! Good that you brought him directly to the hospital , else so dangerous if the appendicitis have exploded , it could harm other vital organs and the more damage will occur. Appendix really don't have a vital role in our system , i don't know why it was made by God , just one thought it comes in my mind , maybe God wants us to be very careful in the things that we are eating , because our appendix have a small opening and if by luck a certain hard particles will get in , it can never be dissolved there , so tendency for Appendix to explode. Hope he is okay now , God bless you all !

Well, in fact when the appendix becomes inflamed, must be immediately controlled and in the most common case, operated on. Otherwise can be very serious consequences!

In fact, two days ago he accused of severe pain in the stomach. We will never have imagined that they depended on appendicitis. Fortunately, the doctors immediately thought of that and it worked in time!

That can be very dangerous, but is usually easy to fix if caught in time. I'm glad he's going to be OK.

Yes, I know, appendicitis can be very dangerous if it goes in peritonitis. It must always be taken in time. Fortunately, in the case of my brother, everything ok!

I'm glad you were all there for him and called the ambulance in time. You now if such a thing isn't taken care of the appendix can burst and the person can die. Wow, he is a lucky person. I'm glad he got to the hospital and operated on in time. Does he have much pain or have to have bed rest after this?

Well, last night when we went to visit him in the hospital, to be honest, he had some post-operative pain, I hope that today he is better.
