Dad's surprising surgery

UPDATE FROM THE NOWAK HOUSE:

On Monday, My dad and I celebrated my 25th birthday and his 25th anniversary of his 33rd birthday (I was born on his 33rd birthday). He felt kinda out of it afterward, but didn't really make a big deal of it. So last night about 6 my mom took my dad over to the Immediate Care center. He hadn't been feeling well since the night before and was a little concerned~for my dad to go to the ER, or any similar place, that's a big deal~he never gets sick and hates being down. So after blood work and a cat scan~he needed his appendix out ASAP! The doctors wanted him to go by ambulance to Mercy Hospital, but for those of you who know my dad~he of course insisted on having my mom drive him~I'm surprised he even let her drive~that's really not like him. So by 10pm he was in surgery, and by 11pm he was resting in a room upstairs. We went up to see him, but he was really groggy~so we all went home to get some rest. We will keep you posted~so far, he's doing great~the doctors said surgery went well and he only has two tiny incisions(it was a laproscopic surgery). My mom did take his clothes home from the hospital though so that he couldn't try and sneak out~I'm sure he's already trying to escape~
Love Always
