MandaMe texted me that she was being admitted to the hospital. She hasn't been feeling well and finally went to the ER Sunday. The hospital finally admitted her late at night.

Glad I can text through the pc instead of my cell phone, phone company would be making money off me today then  :rofl;

Tell her we all said well done!  We were convincing her to go in the chat room on Sunday.  I'm pleased she'll be getting lokoed after - although I understand what a pain it is and what a hassle.
Thinking of you Manda!

So glad she went in!  All the mother hens in the chat room were encouraging her to go.  We even told her to take her phone and text Chris so we could be updated.  I know she worries about her little ones, but she needs to get better and the hospital is where she needs to be.   Thanks Chris  :cuddle;    Tell he we love her!
