Lots of Updates

Noah's being entertained by Sesame Street at the moment, so I have a few minutes to update.

Noah had his four-month vaccinations on Thursday. I knew he didn't feel well on Thursday night, but I attributed it to four shots, gave him Tylenol, and put him to bed. He didn't sleep AT ALL Thursday night. He was restless and just acted like he couldn't get comfortable. When I got him up yesterday (Friday), he was burning up. I took his temperature was 102. I was told that vaccines can cause a low-grade fever, but I knew 102 was pushing it. I called our pediatrician in Macon and he said Noah needed to see someone closer to us. To make a long story (including a VERY frustrating morning at the hospital) short, Stacy Evans was willing to see Noah at his office in Albany yesterday afternoon. Noah has rosiola, a highly contagious high-fever virus. His temp has been fluctuating between 101 ans 104. All we can do is keep pumping Tylenol and Motrin in him... We are, prayerfully, now on the road to recovery.

VACATION
We got back from our trip to Orlando and Crescent City on Tuesday. Jacob and I had an absolutely incredible time at the Army marriage retreat in Orlando. We had the chance to participate in some amazing classes, stay at the Ritz Carlton (for free), eat at Rainforest Cafe (Jake was amazed!), and visit Downtown Disney. I would definitely recommend the retreat to any Army couple eligible to participate. The program is sponsored through Army chaplains and couples are eligible to go to one retreat each year...DEFINITELY WORTH IT!

Noah had a great time staying with my parents and Maegan. He was sick with rotavirus the entire time we were gone, but that didn't stop him from cutting the fool with Maegan and putting on a show for Debbie, Larry, and Uncle Robert. My mom knows me too well because she didn't tell me how sick Noah was; she knew I would leave the retreat to go back to him. They called the pediatrician and did everything they could...and it worked. Mom always knows best. THANK GOD FOR AN AMAZING FAMILY AND WONDERFUL FRIENDS!
