Madeline

A favorite book in our house is "Madeline". As the story goes, Madeline is the smallest of twelve girls in a French boarding school, overseen by Miss Clavel. In the middle of the night Miss Clavel wakes up, thinking something is not right with one of her girls. Sure enough, Madeline has to be rushed to the hospital for an appendicitis. When the other eleven visit her after the surgery, they are awed by the candy, dollhouse and other goodies she received. Back at the school that night Miss Clavel is woken again, this time by all the girls wailing they need to go to hospital too!
While no one in our house has an appendicitis, one of our little people is making an appearance in a hospital this week. And I'm sure that when the boys show up, there will be uproar! Visits from Grandma and Aunt Michelle bearing gifts, multiple phone calls and texts, and a special kid tv that Shelby has to share with no one has made this visit almost fun!
Poor kid has had tummy issues the last couple of weeks-and yesterday her Dr decided to send her in to run some tests and give her fluids since she has been unable to keep anything down.
So here we are; she sleeping and I waiting for breakfast to be served (hurry up hunny!). I'll be sure to keep you posted; if you get a chance she would love to hear from you. A special shout-out goes to the eldest sibling: Thanks, Garry for taking care of the home front while me and dad are away-we love you!
