My 17 year old son was suppose to be leaving today for boot camp for the National Guard. Instead, he ended up getting an emergency appendectomy last night. Since he has not graduated high school yet and this coming August will begin his senior year - his boot camp has been put off until next summer. I'm really happy about that, because when he signed up for the military I had been encouraging him to wait until after he graduated high school. Now, he has to wait. God certainly answers prayers in most unusual ways sometimes. I'm so thankful that his medical problems occurred now before he left instead of while he was away in the middle of boot camp.

He just had to stay the night at the hospital and they let him go home a couple of hours ago. He was texting his friends last night just a few hours after the surgery.

Once in boot camp, I wonder if they would have caught it right away or if he would have gotten the best treatment. You must have an angel on your shoulder.

I'm not being critical here, but I find it a bit unusual for a high school junior to sign up for military service. Did he get some sweet deal to attend a service school to do this? ( And I'm glad you're OK too.)

His father was going to sign the papers anyway and even though I expressed my concerns about waitng until after he graduated - I went ahead and signed the papers. I really wanted him to wait until he finished his senior year, but he had his heart set on signing up now and had already planned on having nearly two years service before he was to start college. He has already been doing his once a month weekend time since February. Edited to add - no sweet deal - just the standard the military will pay for a portion of his college.

That had to have been scary as hell. I'm glad it happened before he left for training too. I agree with Plato in that I wonder if it would have been caught early if he had already been in basic training. There's a good chance it might have been blown of as aches and pains from training. You must have an angel sitting on your shoulder. Well that and the mom mojo. It's funny how things work out sometimes. And at him texting his friends within a few hours of surgery. Just remind him that he really does need to rest and take it easy for a couple of weeks. If he argues tell him that if he's well enough to go hang out with his friends then he is well enough to mow the lawn. Sugar and spice and everything nice!
