UGh, that is a frustrating story. I do hope he continues to feel better as the antibiotics take effect. Don't beat yourself up too bad though. As parents we do the best we can given circumstances and the fact that you and your wife stuck with things since you knew something wasn't right speaks volumes.
I too can't believe they didn't repeat the bloodwork before discharging him on Wed. UGH! Seems just odd to me... keep in mind, you can always do your own "at home" appendicitis check... have the person jump off a chair, if they can't hold their landing or it increases the pain tenfold chances are great they have a hot appendix. A little old school and barbaric but let's you know when something might be a bit more serious than just a belly ache or virus.
Remember, force fluids, will help to flush the body of infections.
