say if your girl
starts actin up,
then you take
her friend.
Or make that, then you take her to the children's hospital.
What a shocker of a weekend.
One minute I was on my way out to play tennis, keys in hand, the next I'm rushing my daughter to an urgent care center with severe abdominal pain and vomiting.
A few hours and a myriad of uncertain diagnoses later, we're at a radiological center for a CAT scan of her abdomen.
By the end of the day we were told to rush her to the children's hospital for emergency surgery. As much as one can rush while crossing town during Friday rush hour.
By evening she was recovering in her hospital room, two small incisions and a heart shaped bandaid on her belly button, quietly but happily in control of the remote, eating graham crackers and apple juice.
By bedtime, chocolate pudding. (That's my girl!)
By lunchtime the following day, discharged. The family in the car, taking her home.
Finally, a stop off at Sandy's for an ice cream cone.
I said a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hop, a you don't stop the rock it
to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
skiddlee beebob a we rock
a scoobie doo
and guess what america we love you
Especially when you provide surgeons and hospitals who return my daughter to good health.
And that's this Rapper's Delight:

I'm glad she's okay!
This sounds like appendicitis--scary stuff.
We thought appendicitis, but no. Though there were four "appies" in line behind our girl's surgery. Would like to say more, but delicate matters prevail.
ooh! so glad she's ok!
This is the stuff of nightmares - so scary..
I hope she recovers quickly and well ..
hugs to you
Thank goodness for insurance, huh? So glad she is doing well.
In this situations you really wouldn't want to live anywhere else, would you? how glorious to wake up and read your story - with a great ending. I'm going to be rapping all day right along with you. Hugs to you and the kid.

I'm still in shock, and I only experienced it vicariously. Am so glad you went when you did, and that she feels better.

Wow, that must have been so scary. How did you hold up during it? Any post traumatic stress?
Scary stuff - glad she came through it ok! What a way to get a pretty bandaid...

Holy dippin' dots, honey. Just a leeeetle bit of stress there. I'm glad she seems on the mend, whatever it was/is/shall be.
And nothing assuages a belly like ice cream.
Wow! How scary was that? I've had several scary-rush-the-kid-to-the-E.R. moments, and your heart always ends up in your throat until you have them home safe and sound.
My best to you and yours.
