Other Answers:
well i always thought that the appendix was the one organ you could live without..so my guess would be he's not in any serious danger unless something else was hurt in the process.however i could be wrong
the appendix is not used in the body these days, so your son won't miss it. As long as the operation is in time and no complications, apart from a little scar no problems.
Your son will get an appendectomy, will have three incisions and will be extremely sore when he gets home. He will have to stay home for about a week and walk bent over for a while. With a quick recovery, he should be out of the hospital within 2 days. By the way, doctors don't know what the appendix does.
apendix is a lymphatic node I think it has a role in immune system
