My heroes!

Sometimes, it is so hard living far away from our families. Especially times like last night and this morning when Damian is out of town and Ellie can't stop throwing up long enough for us to get out of the house. Thank goodness for the kindness of friends! After working all week and instead of going straight home and relaxing, Kristen went to the store and got us pedialyte and apple juice, and then this morning, instead of enjoying a restful Saturday morning and before going to work, Karen came over and watched Ellie (risking being the first to discover that Ellie is still sick this morning) so I could run Gracie to the vet to be boarded. I don't know what I would have done without these wonderful ladies -- thank you, thank you, thank you!

I'm so glad you got some help, you deserve it!!! Pregnant and alone with a sick kid. . .doesn't sound fun at all. I hope E is much better by tomorrow and that you have a relaxing and quiet trip to the UK. Or at least not terrible. . .
We will miss you guys!

I'm glad you have such wonderful friends to help out! I wish I could do more than just sympathize!

Friends ARE the best! I'm happy that you asked and I'm sure that they were happy to help. Who wouldn't be for Miss Ellie? I'm sure that she will be wowwing her British audience!

Ditto to all the above - sounds like the very definition of "friends" to me.

And how are you all now? Ellie is feeling better and the rest of you are not feeling worse? We all have our fingers crossed for you.
