glad to see you guys are okay, jackie! around 7:20 the sirens started going off here so ray and i grabbed the dogs, ran to the car and headed for anna's house because she has a basement and we don't. we hung out there until it passed around 9:00. there are several stop signs in our neighborhood and i ran them ALL going to her house because the clouds were looking VERY SCARY at that point. i'm glad it missed us and you guys, too!
i hope anyone in the southeast who reads this and your families were able to avoid the storms today!
I am glad you are all okay, too, Dawn! I was at my SIL's because she has a basement, and we don't. Our afternoon started around 5:00 with the sirens going off, and our county got about five storms moving through one right after the other -- if you were watching WSB (Channel 2), Ross Cavitt was broadcasting from our county. Those clouds were very scary -- I would have been running stop signs, too!
After storms died down yesterday evening, I came on back to Nashville, since Jill and John were having company and John's parents were coming in today. Jill called me late last night saying they were on their way to the hospital. The pain in her stomach was getting worse, and she couldn't get it to subside, even with medication. John's parents were about to get a hotel room for the night, but John had them come on to the house to keep Brooklynn while they were at the hospital. She has been there all night, and all they have told her is that her white cells are high.
I am on my way back down there. I'll keep you posted. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She has had a rough week.
Update: Jill called before I could get rounded up and said they are sending her home. Other than the high white cell count, they don't see any problems other than her uterus is just having a hard time getting back to normal. They gave her some new medicine, and hopefully that and a long sleep will help get her on the road to recovery. She is exhausted. She's had Bella with her all night long as she has waited and waited and waited on doctors and nurses. You know how it goes in hospitals - nothing ever seems to go quickly. I talked to her three times during the night, and she was pretty much just waiting every time. It took forever to get a CATscan. They were saying she might have appendicitis, but that wasn't the case.
I told her that if the pain persists, she needs to call her regular doctor and get in to see her ASAP, since she does have the white cell count. Hopefully, it is nothing, but I'd rather her be overly concerned than to let something go.
Oh, MeMom and Jill!!! I hope you feel better soon, Jill!!! What a rough recovery! Lots of prayers headed your way!
