Scary

Well, Kayla gave us a major scare tonight. We were about halfway through with dinner when I looked over at her and she had this horrible look on her face. She told me that her stomach was hurting really bad. So I told her to go lay down on the couch which she did. That started about an hour and a half long session of excruciating stomach pain. I put her in the bath thinking that maybe soaking would help her feel better. When that didn't help I got out the heating pad and the Tylenol. When that didn't help I went to get myself ready to take her to the ER. She was crying because she was in so much pain and it was right below her belly button and was matching up to the symptoms of appendicitis. Now, let me tell you - I learned a long time ago not to jump the gun with my kids when they don't feel good. But I was ready to go to the ER with her tonight. Anyway, she finally got calmed down. I gave her a dose of Pepto for good measure and she seems to be fine now. I hope she stays that way through the night - she scared me half to death!!!
