Paris, so we thought, had the dreaded Glasgow 'vomiting bug'. When she lost a ton of weight and wasn't getting any better we took her to the doctor who then said she might have a bladder infection, he prescribed antibiotics (the first prescription I filled for any of my kids- an indication of how worried we were) and we took her on a road trip with the advice that she would get better fast... she didn't improve and we cut the trip short. We visited the doctor again and she was admitted to the Royal Children's Hospital and was diagnosed with appendicitis. Apparently it has burst/leaked over a week before- she was put under and had surgery to drain what her body made to encapsulate the toxins... they say she should have her appendix removed in 6-8 weeks. Worst case the doctor said I would HAVE to change my tickets to the States! That was Thursday...
this was taken Friday, there is a smile- it quickly faded, but there it is!Today she had a bath was detached from her ivac thing and got a sponge bath and put on normal clothes. She still has the drain tube coming from her stomach and she still gets antibiotics intravenously a few times a day and she still has the iv's in her little arm, but today she walked around and played with her visitors for a bit.

Yikes! Tell her we'll be thinking about her. Continute to tell yourself "it will be fine."
Tell Paris we hope she gets better soon. She looks so helpless in her photo. I am sure she will be feeling better in no time.
Wow that is so scary! I hope that she feels better! Take care.
Hope she feels better fast, sweet girl!
poor paris! hope all goes well.
Dear little grandchild. How do you do it? You look like an elegant princess even when you are sick. We will be praying for you that your body will be strong and well very soon. With lots of love to you. And thank you for your beautiful smile.
Oh this breaks my heart. What a brave little thing. Why do kids have to get sick? It just doesn't seem fair. Hope she is feeling better very soon!
It will all work out in the end or everything is going to be okay - the two phrases I find myself constantly saying about something or other. I hope Paris gets well soon enough for you all to get home as planned. Mostly though I hope she feels better quickly and gets her sweet smile back.
Esther had a bladder infection in May and it was so bad we thought it may have been an appendicitis. I too filled a prescription for her which I had never done before either. Its so scary when your little people are sick. All will be well. Love you guys.
Oh baby Paris. Thanks for the photo. We've been SO worried about her and have been praying for a fast recovery. Give her tons of hugs and kisses for me.
so scary, so glad you caught it! love you all
