Sarah started complaining about stomach pains on Friday, February 18, 2006 while we were at lake Almanor for a snowmobile weekend.  The pains got progressively worse and a low grade fever developed.  On the 23rd, Martha admitted her to El Camino hospital for what looked more and more like appendicitis.  An IV, blood tests and a few cat scan's later, Dr. Klaus See-Tho removed her appendix laproscopically.  She was a real trooper through the whole experience.

Here is the pathology report and her wrist band:

As part of the experience we were treated to full color, full resolution pictures of Sarah's major organs.  Modern medical technology is amazing.  Click on the thumbnails below if you have a strong stomach!
