My daughter had appendicitis when she was 15 and her roomie at the hospital had it as well, except her appendix had burst before the surgeon got to it. When an appendix bursts, this can cause infection in the belly, which can be life threatening. Luckily, the girl was ok, but it must have been very frightening for her parents. It’s not always easy to tell if a child has appendicitis, or anyone for that matter. The abdominal pain could be caused by other health issues and sometimes, surgeons operate because they’re sure that the child has appendicitis only to find out that was not the cause.
