*phew* good! that is something that is so often misdiagnosed. my youngest sister went into the ER with a high fever and crazy ache in her gut. they said it was the flu. a few hours later after giving her tylenol and her fever rising rapidly we were back in the ER. she couldn't even stand up straight. her appendix had burst and she was rushed into emergency surgery. she was in pediatric ICU for a week! it was so scary!!
