St. Louis



I'm back! I haven't been able to blog lately due to a virus on our computer. Thankfully, I have a very smart and attractive husband who fixed it!

We've been busy around here, as usual. We went to St. Louis with my sister and her family and my brother and his girlfriend. We had a lot of fun. We went to the zoo, the Budweiser factory, Six Flags and a Cardinals game all in one weekend. Here are some pics...

We had a great time with my siblings and can't wait to do it again soon.

Over...

...Carter's pneumonia that is. Finally! After having a fever for 9 days he is finally back to his normal self. However, I wonder if he even had pneumonia to begin with.

When Brady took him to the ER last week, the tech who took the x-ray said his lungs looked clear. Then the doctor came in and said it was pneumonia. Then the antibiotic that they gave him didn't get rid of the fever...at all. He was on Zithromax for 5 days and he had a fever the entire time. Normally, the fever disappears within 48 hours on antibiotics. Whatever the case may be, he is back to normal and I am so thankful.

In other news, Maddox is starting to crawl a bit more. He will get up on his hands and knees and rock back and forth then lunge forward. He is really determined to get somewhere and when he fails to move he gets very frustrated. I'll post a video and some pictures later (once I remember where I put the camera.)

Over and out,

Pneumonia

Carter has pneumonia. Monday morning at 1:30am we decided to take him into the ER. Even though his lungs sounded clear they ended up doing an x-ray which is how they discovered the pneumonia. They put him on some antibiotics and we are set to see the doctor on Wednesday morning. The poor guy has had a fever since Thursday, and he still has one. I just want him to feel like his old self again.

In other, happier news, Maddox has his first taste of cereal. I think that it went pretty well. He actually got some in his stomach and not all over himself. We'll try again tonight and see how he does.

I'm just so tired. I've been so worried about Carter and he's been waking up every night with a fever between 103 and 104. I wish I could take away his pain and put it on myself. At least he isn't so bad that he had to be hospitalized.

Well, this post has been very scattered. I'm not thinking real clearly, but I thought I'd post something.

Over and out,
