Sarah is doing a bit better today. She had a drain put in surgically to drain the abcess. She will have it in for about 3 to 5 days. After that she will be on antibiotics for a few weeks. They won’t actually take out her appendix for a month or two. She was able to sit in a chair for about an hour and walked a bit. She has had incredible care here (Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital rocks!) and the nurses and doctors are all impressed with how tough she is!! She got a visit from a therapy dog that brought out a big smile.
We have SOOOO appreciated all the well wishes and prayers. It means more than I can ever espress!!

Get better quickly, Sarah. I want to hear your off-camera asap when next your Mama shows us how to construct stuff. I am glad that the docs found what was amiss and are fixing it.

Please let me know if there is anything i can do!
Oh, that picture made me cry!!! She looks so tiny and sad in that hospital bed!!! Praying like crazy that she will feel MUCH better soon!!! I KNOW how tough this is on you, too, Laura!!! Seeing your sweet Peanut in the hospital! Special prayers for you, your hubby and Trevor, as well!!! Please tell Sarah that she is in my thoughts and prayers!!! HUGS!!
Laura, Thanks for the update on both Sarah and Trevor. Glad to know that both are on the road to recovery. When I saw Sarah in that bed all I could think about was how small she looks or how young. I bet that she is not 10 going on 16 right now. I imagine all she wants is her mommy right now. Have you been spending nights with her or are you able to come home? I know when my daughter was in the hospital I spent nights in the chair beside her, it was the only way she got any rest and didn’t spend the night crying. (Of course she was a bit younger, but no matter how old you are when you are sick, you want your mother.)Take care of yourself as well. You don’t want to get sick as well.
Pam
Hi Laura,
So happy to hear that Sarah is doing a little better. Give her a big hug from me.
Trevor too.

You hang in there and don’t worry about us we are just concerned about you.
Take care of yourself also.
Hugs to all,

Prayers on the way for you and Sarah and Trevor and the DAD. My grandson was on crutches last month from a skateboarding accident. A week later I looked out the window and he was riding his skateboard down the hill using his crutches to propel himself. I sat down and had a cup of coffee. So glad she is in good hands.
Lots of hugs for a speedy recovery to Sarah. Pleased she is being well looked after. Hopefully things will improve day by day from now. x
Wishing Sarah & Trevor speedy recovery. Glad to hear Sarah is much better.
Thanks for all the lovely projects you share on your blog & videos, even though I may not always comment. I always look forward to your videos & your ustream, everything you make is so inspiring :)Take care.
Hugs and prayers for you and your family. Hope both Sarah and Trevor have a speedy recovery. We never like to see our children hurting.
A lots of hugs and best wishes for your little girl and your son. A speed recovery for both of them! Hugs, Vron
looking at this picture of her-so fragile in hospital bed- makes me feel so sad. Please get well soon Sarah… Peace out!
OMG, I am so sorry to hear all of this. I so thought it was done last Sat. I send all the love, strength and smiles your way I can. Kids bounce back so much easier than us older folk. I know it will fall on deaf ears but try to not get so run down from all the stress and worry. Huge Hugs, Oz
So glad to hear Sarah is doing better. Hope she continues to do better. Our prayers are with you and your family
I’m so sorry to hear about Sarah’s surgery! I’m glad she and Trevor are doing better, and I hope they continue to do so. Does Sarah have anything to do while she’s stuck in bed? My kids and I just learned a new game; Name _. Examples would be; name the first 5 presidents, name 3 farm animals, ext. My 3yr old got the farm one and my 7yr old got the presidents. Everyone takes turns asking questions and answering. It was a lot of fun.
Laura,
We are all praying to the Lord. Sarah will be fine.
God Bless
Sarah is in my prayers for a speedy recovery. And “Mom and Dad” are in my prayers for strength to make it through this with her.
{{Laura}} Thanks for the update! Speedy recovery for Sarah and hang in there Laura because as moms we know how hard this is for you !! Continued prayers and thoughts …
Laura.. big hugs to you Mommy. I can only imagine how difficult this has been on you and your honey. Sarah a beautiful bright spirit and will thrive in all she does because of your strong family love. God Bless and hope to hear she is all better soon and back home. I think a WELCOME HOME PARTY ON USTREAM is in order for her! xoxoxo
With a grin,
Stephanie 🙂
Sarah,
Lots of thoughts and prayers your way for healing. I know those drain tubes are no fun, had one myself several years ago. But you will get better as you are a strong person and fiesty like your mother. Rest and feel better soon we miss that little voice.

Hope peanut gets well soon. When they are ill you feel so helpless, dont’t you, but keep well and strong and everyone will be looking forward to hearing her voice again.
What a lot to go thru for a little one! Preayers for you, Sarah! Get well soon!
