I just got another call from Nathan. He DOES have to have surgery to remove his appendix this afternoon or this evening. Lindsey is performing in a wedding and is out of town with the kids.
It sounds like the surgery will be arthroscopic (is that correct?) and will not be as invasive as appendectomies have been in the past and he may even be released tonight. However, as Kevin Slatton told me today, the only minor surgery is one that happens to someone else, so this is still not a fun day for Nathan.
Nathan is trying to decide whether to travel this weekend and be with his family, or stay in the area for the weekend. He'll probably be fairly sore in the aftermath, so please pray for him!
I'll update you all as soon as I know more.
