Another Surgery!!!!

Elder Rudd had an emergency appendictomy on Monday, October 17th. As you can read in the following post, he hadn't been feeling well but really didn't have the BIG signs of something being wrong. But, he felt something was wrong so Sister Layton sent him to the emergency room and lo and behold he needed them out NOW!!!! I got to talk to him before and after surgery(which was awesome). He is doing well and on the road to full recovery. I am grateful he listened to the spirit and didn't go to Buffalo afterall and was where he could get good medical care immediately. Thanks for all the prayers you offered and please keep them coming for him. He has certainly been through it in the time he has been out. (written my Mom)

Time To Press Play

Elder Rudd LEAVES September 2nd (tomorrow) at 6:00 AM. He is getting set apart tonight at 5:00 pm. He is so excited he can't stand it. He can't wait till tomorrow. When he called President Layton he was told were he was going to serve. He will be in Wright Wyoming a town of 1600 people. We are so excited for him and can't wait to hear of his experience again.

Good luck Elder Rudd!

We Love you!

Doctor Appointment

Today was the big day. The first doctors appointment since surgery. The doctor said everything looked good but he still has at least another month of therapy to do before seeing the doctor again for the approval to go back out as long as everything goes as planned. So it was pretty good news, now it is just getting to the next appointment and getting back out there!

Surgery

Everything went Great! The doctor ended up shaving the meniscus down where he tore it. The day of the surgery he was up and walking around. Three days after he was going to physical therapy. He says it doesn't hurt too bad but it is not his favorite thing. His least favorite thing about the surgery was that he had to have his leg shaved. I think it is quite hilarious and love to point it out to everyone who comes by to see him. (thats what sisters are for right)
