When we got home from the first day of school there was a message on our machine that was my Dad, "Luke is having emergency appendectomy surgery, I just got a call from a nurse." The problem was that we did not get the name of the hospital and felt like we had no clue what was going on. I got in the car and started driving to Kansas City (4 1/2 HRs) Sarah started searching all hospitals. After finding Luke's boss and him not able to find Luke at any hospital we started to panic. The last hour of my drive Sarah called and said he was at the hospital that Luke worked at as an IT specialist and recovering. I was never so glad to see my baby brother as I was that night at 9 pm laying in dark room. He is now home and doing great. Luke had been in extreme pain for an entire night and finally at 8 am drove himself to the emergency room, got stuck in rush hour traffic, arrived and was immediately diagnosed. We found out later that when a patient is in surgery or emergency room they are not admitted to the hospital yet.
