It was three in the afternoon and I had just been released from school. A soon as I went out the door I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. When I checked the screen to see who was calling a number I didn’t know was scrolling across the screen. I answered the phone with a confused “Hello?” to see who was calling, and I was answered by the familiar voice of Jeff, a friend of the family.

“Hey matt I just wanted to let you know that we had to take your dad to the hospital.”
“What is it?”
“The doctors think he has appendicitis.”
“Ok, I’ll have to go back to the house first then I’ll come up there.”
“Alright, your sister already knows, and she will be looking for you.”

We ended the conversation so I turned my head to look for my sister. She had already spotted me and was on her way. We walked to my car together and I let her know that I wasn’t worried because appendicitis was a common thing. So we threw or things in the backseat of my car and headed off.

At the hospital we were in the ambulatory surgery waiting room. My sister, mom, and aunt were in the secluded area of the waiting room with me. Come to find out what I thought was a common ailment was a little more. His appendix had burst and perforated his colon. His insides were a mess and he would be in surgery for a while. Jeff was on his way while I thought about the way my dad acted for the past week.

Not exatly sure how to word the body yet so this is all I have.
