question: my 9 year old son has been experiencing  lots of pain in his lower right abdomen 2 doctors believe early stages of appendicitis and black bowel movements at  emergency and stayed there for 14 hours they checked his blood white cell count is good ,they did an ultra sound to see if the appendix was enlarged they could not find his appendix? 10 min prior to the ultra sound they gave him morphine for pain could this have caused them to not find his appendix he is still in pain and its1 week now !The third doctor at emerg told us she didn't want to send him for ct scan because of radiation? i'm so frustrated we were sent home to monitor him and for him to take it easy PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I SHOULD DO? thanks
