Update on Danica (5 yr old granddaughter)

Kristian 7 yrs old (left) and Danica 5 yrs old (right)

Well, it is Christmas eve and I guess it is as good a time as any for this little lamby to be sick. Danica has been complaining about a sore tummy for over a week and my daughter took her to the doctor. He said it was a bug of some sort, just to watch her. Danica continued to complain, throw up, have a fever - all the symptoms of a not-so-well little girl.

Early in the morning Dec 23rd, Danica started to throw up blood and this panicked Angela (my dd). Her and Charles bundled Danica up and drove to emergency where the doctor admitted her right away. She had a ruptured appendix and she was only going to get sicker if she was not operated on NOW !

She came through the operation just fine but now she is fighting an infection. The doctor assures my daughter this is normal for this sort of operation. They may put in a drainage tube if she does not respond to the antibiotics.

Kristian misses his sister a lot and wants to know when she can come home and when Christmas is going to happen. On Christmas day, every one is going into the hospital and open a few gifts with Danica and maybe Santa may appear... Get well soon Little Danica....

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL....AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS for those who do not celebrate Christmas
