The big boy family baby
Apparently always bored
Asks for jobs incessantly
But picks the ones he wants to do.
Preparing food tops the list
A good job he'll do too.
When sunny Spring
February brings
The clear call
of bright blue sunny skies
wins over all
A trek to "the woods"
Tree wacking
rock climbing
house building
imagination fun
With a promise to return
And soon
Life interrupted
Plans foiled
The next glorious sunny day
Mommy spent in hospital
Her appendix made its presence known
That was quickly rectified
And now she's home without it.
Wednesday she felt horrible
Thursday mostly fine
A Doctor visit - to finally have a family doctor
An off-hand comment there
And a vigilant doctor
Surprised her with recommending a trip to the ER
Thursday finished
Kids home from AWANA
tucked in bed
Mom off to the hospital
Armed with sewing and books
for the long wait
Midnight comes and goes
Blood taken
Sewing needle broken
Eyes droopy
Friday morning super early
IV started
CT Scan ordered and done
Appendix blamed
Phone calls and Facebook
Flurry of activity for admittance
and surgery preparation
And the last dreary waiting
Friday evening
Family comes to call
Four on the bed
and the Mommy said
"No More!"
Lots of talking
Sharing the day's stories
Tears and sadness
when mommy can't come home yet
Saturday morning
feeling bright and sunny
another long wait
for her ride home
But O so welcome!
