Oh Beth, how awful......we are all praying for your family.
Ah, lucky you were in the hospital then. Not much other than surgery for that nasty append(age). Hoping everything is fine, that she is up and about quickly. It's amazing what they expect from surgical patients these days - not much lazing around after.
So terrible that it happened but it does sound like she will be okay so that's good! I'll be thinking about you both today.
Oh gosh so so sorry. It could be so much worse...glad it's only the appendix! Wishing your daughter a rapid recovery and you some peace...
I'm so sorry to hear your daughter is sick. If you need to talk with anybody I'm an e-mail away. I've had my appendix removed and understand what your daughter is going through. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter today. Here's hoping she'll have a quick recovery.
sending love and light to you and your family, beth. xx s
Ouch! Wishes for a speedy recovery for your daughter! & rest and a meal for you. :)
absolutely horrible. I had mine out as a young teen, was traumatic, just glad they caught it in time. Love your writing.
best wishes for fast recovery.
Been there :( Hope both of you get some sleep and she heals quickly. Sending prayers your way.
Oh wow, I do hope that she is much better soon. And that you've eaten and rested.
Peace

Sending healing prayers your way. Rest-so she'll have you in tip top shape when she's home.

i am sorry you had such a long night!
my mom had to have hers out the very first night kevin and i went out of town, india was a tiny baby, my dad had to take her... it was a long night for everyone.
hope she comes home right away. xoxooxox's to you!
oh no honey!!! I'm so sorry. I know she will be better soon though.
xoxoxoxox
May she have a return to good health soon and many blessings and prayers to you and your family as you help her on the road to recovery!
I'm so sorry to hear this! Prayers for recovery now, and healing and wellness. Oh, and sleep :)
Such a clever way to share, just sorry its been a rough time.
Thinking about both of you and hoping for a speedy and good recovery. Take care~
Glad she was close to the hospital and you were able to get her there for that nasty appendix to go kaput! Here's hoping for a quick recovery and for Mom to get some much needed rest!
Wishing you all the best...just think...she'll never have another appendix attack again! Anything removed is one less future problem. She'll heal and be good as new. Now...you get some well deserved rest!
sending my love to you mom...rest when you can!
Sending love and good thoughts to both of you... no worries mama, it will work out...
:-)

Oh my...that was a rough patch! I hope your daughter is soon on the road to a full recovery. I hope you get some sleep soon!!!
oh, no! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you get some rest.. All of you.

"Too many residents playing doctor." Boy, do I know that one! Take care of yourself. Hope your daughter feels better soon.
Your daughter and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you get some rest and peace of mind soon. *HUGS*
I hope she recovers quickly. What an exhausting day and night. Take care all of you. Rest.
OMG I cannot believe this all went down after I saw you! I am so sorry Beth...sending healing thoughts your way.
Sending my positive thought and prayers!
Oh Beth I'm sending out beautiful warm prayers out to you all. Take a nap when ever there's the time to steal one. Hope your daughter will be fine soon. Hugs Dagmar
Beth, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. All will be well, don't run yourself down...what an ordeal for you. hugs to you, wish I could be there for you to hold your hand. Big hug,c
Oh, I'm so sorry! I hope she is on the road to recovery soon. :)
Reiki winging its way to your girl and to you. Love in abundance and healing.
Prayers and positive thoughts are flying to you on angel's wings. Wishing you both peace, healing and good health -- and soon.
Wishing her a speedy recovery!
Why must those darn appendixes be so problematic? I mean, Get over yourself, Appendix! Gah!!
Much love to you both!
Oh, Beth, there's hardly anything scarier than dealing with all of that and of course at night I think it feels worse ... prayers for her quick and smooth recovery.
Having lived through parenting one of those "residents playing doctor"...my feelings run this way...if I ever encounter one now, I ask "When have you last eaten, or rested? Here take this apple, or cookie, or smashed up yogurt bar." Think of it this way, it's like parenting for the first time ... you've just got to do it and get your hands dirty and learn along the way...and usually on little sleep or good nutrition or a gentle hug to bolster your confidence when you are often scared (and can't show it) to do or say anything for fear of the one mistake that will hurt, really hurt. They need some mothering along the way and a kind word on anything they've done that's been helpful, and a reminder that they need to just breathe deep 1x q hr.
I'll say a prayer for a quick recovery!
Oh no! I'll be praying for her healing. And your strength. And comfort for you all. But especially for sweet hubby whom this has to be killing.
Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery. Please try to get some rest, you, your daughter, and the rest of your family will be grateful.
Aren't hospitals the most infuriating places?
Oh indeed it truly was frightening! But at least you had some cute doctors around to divert your attention temporarily.
;)
I'm glad she is doing so well.
Hugs to you.

I yi yi! I'm away for a few days and you and your daughter in the hospital! I've got some catching up to do! xoxoxo
