Snow, Swimming, & Sick

What a week. Last Thursday I took Connor in to see the dr. because I thought his allergies were acting up. Come to find out he tested positive for the flu...there for we are ALL on meds now. We did a chest x-ray and determined he probably had a bronchial spasm and needed to be tested for pertussis (still waiting on the results, be he is on meds). Thankfully we were at the dr. office when his fever spiked and she did breathing treatments and meds. Praise God the rest of us are doing okay as of now! James and Connor playing in what little snow we received.


Sweet Ian riding Connor's horse that he got for his first Christmas. During all the hype of Connor getting sick they checked Ian and we weighed a whopping 16 pounds and 6 oz. He is still about 4 pounds behind Connor.




Connors first breathing treatment at home. He did not like the first few times we did it, but I have now found that watching a cartoon or playing on the ipad makes the treatment go a little faster. We are having to mix 2 separate vials so it takes about 30 minutes to complete...one cartoon=perfect!



Last Tuesday was his first time at swimming lessons. Had the instructor not let him go under it would have gone better. Note to self and others reading...the new camera will not make it's way back to swimming lessons. The camera lens fogged up as soon as I walked into the swimming area.



The last couple of weeks have been rough for a few of my close friends. Please keep my best friend Katy and her family in your prayers. She lost her cousin in a tragic accident the day after Christmas. They delivered the baby at 30 weeks. Eric, Mali, Eleri, and Curran are in need of prayers! www.caringbridge.org/visit/currangomez




Another friend of mine has a little one, Tatum, about a month older than Ian that has started having seizures. They don't know what is causing them, but every time he has one he stops breathing. Please keep these families in your thoughts and prayers.

Sad that C has the flu! Yay for new cameras, what kind did you get? Oh and your lens will defog once it adjusts to the humidity and temp. I usually keep mine in the bag for several minutes, then unzip the bag for several more. Same if I'm going from extreme temps too (like out into snow, etc). It will usually be fog free and ready to go by then.
