Let's hope it's nothing serious, which it's probably not, but I always fear the worst with our team.
Normally, I'd say who cares and Burrow doesn't need preseason, but I would have liked for him to get some live game action with his new line.
Let's hope Burrow makes a quick and full recovery!
Nurse here...I was a pediatric nurse for 15 years and saw all sorts of ruptured appendices over the years. Appendicitis starts with lower abdominal pain/pain around the belly button then settles in the right lower side. People almost always have vomiting and/or diarrhea with this pain.
If you have a high pain tolerance (many kids do) then it's often brushed off as a stomach bug. Once the appendix ruptures, the pain wanes and people feel better...
Then they really get sick and realize they need medical attention. We had kids rupture more often than they did not. Some ended up with an abscess or something called a phlegmon, and some even developed a type of stone from the infection.
These patients usually need longer term iv antibiotics given via a PICC line but usually make a full recovery rather quickly. Some only need a few days. Just depends on the situation and amount of infection that needs to be treated.
