All I can say is, Whew!!!!
Martha - do a recant of the call for the National Guard!
We wuz

worried, Girl. Remember...some of us do not

handle stress very well and find ourselves visiting the

refer when we are maxed out!

Just think, your unexcused absence could become the impetus we need for random acts of eatage!

Glad that Broden is better - gosh!

Poor little guy. This seems like an odd time of the year for a child to get it.
When you mentioned croup, it took me back to my childhood days. My little brother got it many times and it was always in the middle of the night, usually in November or January.
My parents' bedroom was on the main floor of our home and my brother and I each had rooms upstairs. The first time David got the croup the family was all tucked in their beds

snoring away and
it happened.

Oh, my gosh! I thought there was a German shepherd in my brother's room!
I heard barking sounds coming from his room. I ran to see why
he got a dog and I didn't.
David was gasping, his

lips were blue and his little chest was heaving. I was only 7 years old but I knew he was a very

sick baby brother (he was almost 3 years old).
It is a

scary thing! Like you and Darren, a hospital trip and stay was needful. Mom used to

vaporize my brother all the time - his bedroom was like a jungle due to the steam.
We will excuse you this time for being tardy, Kiddo. The

best part is that we know Broden is

better, you and Darren are

better now that your baby is improving and we are relieved to know your FLAT sexy tummy is still flat and sexy.
Folks, remember, some of us have families, some work full time outside the home in addition to taking care of our palaces so some people may not be sitting in front of their

computers all the time, ya know!
MakeMeThinner Forum People, you are the
BEST folks around.
I

love your caring ways!
You are kinder and sweeter than some regular flesh and blood families!
We stick together through THICK, THIN and THINNER!
