Life is Short - Don't Waste It!

Friday, May 2, 2008

Was at the emergency room last night until midnight with my youngest. She was having severe stomach pains. I always freak out because my good friend's daughter died from a burst appendix. The only symptoms she had was nausea and fever. She died in the emergency room in her mom's arms. Everytime I think about it, I start to cry. I can't even imagine how you cope with that. My friend is very religious and I think her faith has helped her a lot and she seems to be coping, but still...

I'm so tired.

The same happened to my cousin, last year. Her daughter was only 6. Is your daughter ok?

Yeah, she's okay...looks like she is just going to have a stomach bug - she started dry heaving this morning when she got up. She feels fine she says and she is hungry but she keeps getting sick. I think she's going to be fine.

Wow. I'm glad she's okay. Try to rest up. I can't imagine losing a child like that.

That must have been really scary. And that is awful that your friends daughter died like that! I'd have been a total wreck in the waiting room.

I'm glad she's feeling better. :D
