Christmas and the ER

Posted by admin on Monday Dec 29, 2008 Under Uncategorized

Christmas was just wonderful this year.  Even though we had some sick kids, Christmas morning was awesome. They were so excited and so good!! The girls were really excited about their presents, especially the new fish tanks that each girl got… courtesy of Uncle Jason. They have been diligent and excellent in feeding them every morning.  Though we did have 1 die this morning, Gena’s fish, so that was a bit emotional for her.

Christmas night was a different story, with a trip to the ER. Caden has been feeling miserable, he has an eye infection and a sinus infection. Christmas evening he started a fever of 101.  So we gave him ibproufen, and a few hours later it was up to 104 and he was throwing everything up.  We called his Dr. and she recommended we get him seen.  I would have just brought him to one of the Kid Urgent Care’s, versus a trip to the ER, but alas they were closed.  So we braved the crappy weather (seriously, in UT it had been snowing non-stop to the point that my brother’s car was stuck out in front of our house for 2 days). They gave him eye antibiotics and oral antibiotics and by the next morning, he was doing wonderful.  Strangely enough his rash that he’s had for the last 2 weeks was gone as well.  He’s back to his happy self today and all smiles.

Below is a pic of the kids Christmas morning, and yes… Caden really looked that sick:

Then there was Adessa’s dance recital.  She did wonderful!  Below you can see the pics of her doing her different positions and leaping:
