[|Human|] My son had a ruptured appendix 6 weeks ago, they put a drain in and it drained for about a week, he then had a colonoscopy, he was to have laproscopoic surgery on Oct. 14, about 3 am on Oct 14, he started throwing up and having the same stomach pain, we went to the surgery center at 5:30 am the took him in to do the laproscopic surgery, after 2 hours the dr. came out and said the appendix was in his pelvic and he had to open him up, 2 more hrs the surgery was done but he informed me he had to repair a tear in his lower intestine, he has a drain in his rectom , My question is do you think they waited too long to schedule the surgery, and also is it possible when the tried to to the laproscopic surgery the might have made that tear????? please excuse the spelling
