Oh my – so sorry to hear about your ordeal. We are amazing – we can be oh so excited about creating and yet be “moms” with kiddos who need us. Hope all is well and will be better soon!
Oh, yuck! I hope he is on the mend, and you are, too!
Poor boy. I am glad he is going to be better. I have had kidney stones and when they say it is like being in labor they are right… having done both I can testify. I hope you can have a sigh of relief and a good sleep. Blessings.
Ouch! I just read through Jewel’s comment and I must say that he is one brave boy! Hope you all can get some sleep now and that all is well now.
Saw your FB posts yesterday and wondered what was going on. Didn’t want to pry. Sorry about all that stress on your family. I hope all is well and everyone’s feeling better today!
