How many times have you heard that? It was just another Memorial Day BBQ at my parents when we heard those words from our little princess Isabella. After several hours of discomfort we drove down to our local St. Michael's 24 Hour Emergency Clinic (great staff) with fears of appendicitis. The initial diagnosis was just that, but they needed confirmation by taking a CAT Scan. After several hours of nervous anticipation and a supportive visit from Isabella's RPC middle school intern, Jessica Stanley, the results were negative for appendicitis but positive for a ruptured ovarian cyst. We were sent home with prescriptions for antibiotics and pain medication and very thankful hearts that we did not have to face surgery. Believe me I had major flash backs of Bob's emergency surgery last year and I wasn't ready for another one! I want to say thank you to the family and friends (you know who you are) who stayed in contact with us throughout the evening with supportive words and funny wishes that helped Isabella while she was "waiting it out". Isabella stayed home from school today and she had a visit from two of her BEST FRIENDS - they came with a special basket filled with get well cards and homemade chocolate chip cookies. What would we do without our circle of supportive friends and family... Thanks again for loving us!
