According to Mercy Regional Hospital, the appendix has "no known function," s0 Josh asked them to take it out just for fun.

Actually, he was complaining about stomach pains that wouldn't go away for the past week and a CT scan on Friday showed a very inflamed appendix. So at 10:45 Friday night Josh had an appendectomy. He was able to walk around less than 24 hours after surgery, so all went very well! He is still feeling a bit sore, and he has some gorgeous bruises, but God is healing him very quickly and well.

I pray God blesses all you mothers with a great mother's day!!
