Hospitalized

Here things get difficult.  The blog will have a tough time keeping up with the timeline for about a week, as the author apparently needs to take a week off!  So, therefore much of the info is catching up a week later.  Still, it's hard to forget the first day it all started happening:  Daddy was hospitalized.

For the record, the photo above is a joke.  One of Daddy's friends, Chris, works at the hospital, and was waiting with him that initial day for a diagnosis and more.  While waiting, we were goofing off a tiny bit - in fact, here's another photo of Josh, Daddy and Chris, each in matching wheelchairs.

I'd like to say we were about to have wheelchair races.  But alas, we weren't having that much fun.

It all started out with the filming.  We were filming for Summer Xtreme at our house, when suddenly Daddy turned pale white - or so they say.  It felt as if there was an explosion of poison in my abdomen, which I clutched.  I immediately had to sit down.  It was such a blessing to have Chris there, who knew immediately that I should go to the hospital.  Here were go - Daddy hadn't been to the hospital for himself in about ten years or so, and that was kidney stones.  But this didn't feel like kidney stones.  It felt.... worse.

We waited for hours in the emergency room, and those fellas above waited the whole time.  Ye Ye quickly joined us, and together we made the best of the situation.  The social network being what it is, the photos above were sent with a message about Daddy being in the hospital - and nobody believed he was actually sick!  Not yet anyway.

Mommy was having tummy trouble of her own, and additionally needed to watch over Madison.  We kept her up to date as we found out anything, which unfortunately took a long time.

Kidney stones and appendicitis were ruled out.  Can you guess what it is?

Well, neither could the doctors!  Daddy had a lot of morphine in him, and was feeling significantly better, and as the doctors couldn't locate any exact cause, we went home late in the night.  It must have just been some terrible gas or a stomach flu, right?
