Today was a very crazy day.  It started off like any other day.  I got up, ate some breakfast, then went back to bed because I was feeling super tired.  Not too long after I laid down my phone vibrated next to me  and it said I had a text message. I was super confused because I have never gotten a text on my phone here because nobody has my dutch phone number.  After I opened the phone I saw it was from Dad.  It read: "Im in the hospital".  

I was super confused.  I was thinking is this a joke?  Mom and Ellie didnt get texts just me.  I called for mom and showed it to her.  We panicked!  We tried to call Dad but he didnt pick up.  Then some how I figured out how to call the people from Dad's office.  They told us what hospital he was at and we took the train to go see him.  

Once we got to the hospital we had a terrible time finding the emergency room (spoedeidse hulp).  All the signs are in dutch which made it very confusing.  When we finally found him, the Doctors were just releasing him.  It turns out he had kidney stones.  He is feeling much better now.  The doctors gave him some meds to control the pain.  We are all thankful that he is better and that we will still be able to go to Paris tomorrow!

  1. Your poor dad! I hope he's feeling better-kidney stones can be miserable.
