I am sitting here, sweat on my face, my heart beating and I feel sick. As I had mentioned, my family have got sick; and when your family are sick you put them to bed and check in on them over the course of the night. BUT... Tonight I put Belle to bed (my 4 year old daughter), I went down stairs and put on a few episodes of 24. I was right in the middle of one and I heard the door bang, so I paused the show and decided to take a quick toilet break, so I see Belles light on and I go in to check up on her with her new found measles virus.
To my amusement she was gone, I thought: "ahh, bless her, she is in our bed resting all snuggled" so I go to check on Lindsay and Belle, there was no Belle, I then started to calmly panic, I went up to my loft, no Belle, down to the kitchen, living room, addisons room, toilet, every where: no Belle. I then checked the kitchen patio door and it was open!!
I freaked! I ran and waked lindsay, turned on all the lights and then checked again, no Belle! I felt sick, really sick. I called for her: nothing. Lindsay was really panicking so we started frantically checking all the hide out holes around the house, then she ran out from behind our bed (bay window cove) she was sleeping behind our bed. What a relief. What a horrible few minutes, I can only think I caught a glimpse of the poor McCann family. That was by far my worst 3-4 minutes of my life. I would take anything in place of that happening.
So in that, the only good I can think is that I will post a link to Maddie McCann's Blog in some hope that these guys get some closure either way on that 2 year feeling that I experienced.
Horrible.

Such a horrible experience!!! I remember we lost Emily for a few minutes while on holiday with Hen & Kate at a waterpark - scariest moment of my life! You feel your heart is going to come out of your throat! Oh the relief you must have felt when you finally found Belle - although it messes you up for a while after.
