Apologises!!!

Evening All,
Unfortunately my 13 year old daughter Chloe was taken into hospital Friday night and had to go for surgery to get her appendix removed,apparently they were really bad and were gangerous and perferated,so she has been really bad and is now septic,and her heart rate isnt good,but hopefully she will be ok and out for Christmas...I have nothing at all sorted for xmas and not even a card posted or nothing with being back and forth to hospital all the time so i am really sorry if you havnt recieved a card from me,i havnt even a present wrapped or nothing so i am in panic mode,i have come home tonight so i can get some rest as i am exhausted,i want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year no as i most likely wont be back on blogland until after Christmas..
Take care
