Perry II

Just wanted to let the family know what happened to my brother Perry yesterday, as it may be awhile before my mom will post anything. Long story short, he went to the ER yesterday morning and surgery revealed a ruptured appendix. The Dr. described his abdomen as "a sticky mess of puss" and said that gangrene had set into the appendix. So he was a very sick man! Last night after he got back to his room after recovery he was feeling much better and in good spirits....but still has a long road of recovery ahead. His comment last night was he was feeling so much better that he thought he could probaby go home and not spend the night :) So, prayers for his healing are appreciated but also pray that he can have patience as a week long hospital stay goes terribly against his nature! He is at OSF in Bloomington and Joan and my mom are both there with him.

A strong and healthy man does not take well to being sick. We will be praying for a full and quick recovery.

We will pray for God's healing power for Perry. So glad they caught it before it got worse. He must have had terrible pain.
Thanks for telling us, Maria.

Sure hope he's feeling better soon. That happened to Mike's sister a few years ago and she, too, was very, very sick. We are praying for him.
