Appendix Out (Feb. 21)

From Sister Sprague, a Senior Couple Missionary serving in Rome:

"My husband and I, the  Sprague's from Kaysville, Utah are Sr couple missionaries. We are in the hospital with your darling daughter, and her companion. She came in last night due to pain, they did a blood test and kept her overnight with antibiotics in an IV. She felt a little better but was still in pain. The Dr checked her and felt like it was her appendix. She had the option to wait until tomorrow or do the surgery today. And she chose to do it today. She went in at 1:00 pm, they took her appendix out and she was back in her room at 3:00.  

It is now 6:30 pm. I was not able to send this email before because I didn't have internet so that is why it is kind of a hour by hour update. So the long story short is that the doctor said her appendix needed to be removed, no other problems found.

I hope you know all is well, the hospital is better quality because it is a private hospital not a social one. We know it is a little scary to have your daughter in a hospital in a foreign country thousands of miles away, but we hope you know that she is in good hands and in good care!! We will continue to check up on her and hope you know that she is being watched over by Heavenly Father!!! If you have any questions we would be happy to try to answer them."

"Your daughter arrived at her apartment about 6pm. She is a trooper ready to go to church Sunday.
She is a special missionary. ~The Spragues"
