pegkerrAfter lab tests is either appendicitis (which means surgery) or diverticulitis (which means antibiotics). CAT scan (hopefully in next hour) will tell us which one it is.
At his age it's more likely to be diverticulitis--except with that, pain more often presents on the left. Ron's is on the right. The doctor said if Rob was in his 20s with these symptoms, he'd already be in surgery, they wouldn't have waited for the CAT scan.
Edited to say: Turns out it's not either of those. We are now developing a new theory. Ron's being admitted to the hospital. I'm not saying any more until I've talked to the girls and more doctors have talked to us.
Pray for my family.
Pray hard.
