Don't ask my why, but ^^^ that wasn't supposed to be a smiley! Instead, it was supposed to read 103.8. At any rate, fever seems to have

broken finally, but doc wants to keep her here for observation. Needless to say, I'm not leaving my 9 year old here alone, so I'm sleeping

here too!

I would do the same thing, can't leave the baby alone. i hope there is a somewhat comfy couch to crash on. you are in my thoughts!

when I was 16 and had my appendix out I was scared stiff when my mom went home the second night and left me alone

hang in there... I hope she's on the mend!!!

That's 'cause you're a good moms, dragynm and somberangel. Our kids are like that!

Night 2, all seems well. Fever's gone, but she complains of tummy and back pain.
