Christmas Eve

Well, our first Christmas Eve was not exaclty what we had planned, but the important thing is our sweet baby is doing much better! Brooks started getting sick Tuesday while he was with my parents and my mom took him to the Dr. and they said he just had a cold. He had a real bad cough but was not running any fever. Tuesday night he ran a fever of 101 and then Wednesday he was much better and without fever all day. Well, Wednesday night his temp went up to 101.5 and stayed up all night getting up to 102. So today I called the Dr.'s office and the on call nurse said I should take him in to see someone, but what do you know well, it is Christmas Eve and all the clinics are closed so we had to take them to the er. They got us right in thank goodness! We got there and his temp was 101.9 and he had had about 10 stools in 3 hours. They started an iv on him immediately and started giving him fluids! Poor Baby his daddy could hardly stand it. Then they did not get enough blood so they had to stick him again! UGHH! Put his was such a trooper. We got there about 1:30 and finally got to leave at about 945 tonight. Brooks is doing much better and is doing good drinkin his pedilyte. Please keep him in your prayers b/c they said it is very easy for an infant to get dehydrated very fast. Please pray that he continues to take the Pedilyte. While we were there Michael got sick. So now I have 2 sick babies at home!! This virus is very contagious b/c my dad and grandad have it. We were suppose to have Christmas at our house tomorrow but considering our house in infected we did not want to expose anyone else to this awful virus. Especially our little nephew Jackson who is only 7 weeks old. So we are having a first Christmas with our little boy that we will never forget!! Thank goodness he won't remember it!! Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
