Turkey preparations

Thursday 24 December

I kept up the tradition of having the

Christmas lunch as a dinner 

on the 24 in the evening.

Tonight we are having the whole family for the first time.

But we almost did not make it again this year.

The day before Mykaela had tummy pain

and fainted. Jo called the ambulance.

They thought she had appendicitis.

After a night in hospital 

we still did not know what was going on.

So Claude went to get Amelia

and Joshua for Shane and Jo

to concentrate on Mykaela.

Claude and Christopher fixed the piano

chilling with uncle Christopher

Meanwhile we decided to cook the 

turkey and see.

Christopher did one of his recipe.

The children were entranced.

Late in the afternoon we got a phone call.

They are releasing Mykaela.

Christmas is on!!!

They were almost ready to operate

when a nurse came to Jo and

told her not to let anyone take

Mykaela away, the surgeon

was having a look at the ultra sound.

It was not appendicitis.

She had a cyst on the ovaries which burst.

Jo had the same when she was 14 y

Mykaela is 13 y
