L.






L. is not well, this was medically confirmed on monday. she has lost 12% of her weight in less than two months.  we're heading to the autumn school break here in france, and this will be the start of a big medical check-up for her. there's so much on my chest right now, that i wouldn't even feel any comfort in lighter things : taking pictures, blogging, crafting, networking... i want to be 100% in real life with her, until this is hopefully on the mend.
so i'm waving you all a little good-bye for a couple of weeks xo
ps : thank you Jenny for the delicious tea (not only)

  21. Dear Valerie, I also hope things are cleared up very soon. I know doctors over there in France are very thorough and do lots of tests and also very quickly get the results back, so no hanging around for answers. I'm sure everything will soon be back to normal and I wish you both well xx

  30. This really upset me Valerie :( Poor L. I'm really, really hopping she is OK! I will be praying for your family.

  31. I'm sorry to hear this Valerie. I hope it is nothing serious. If she has no other symptoms, it really is possible to lose so much weight at her age. I did -- it was nothing. I just shot up in height shortly after. I sincerely hope this is all it is! Please take care. Thinking of you.
