ER trip over the holidays

kids decorated their playroom tree today

As wonderful as it is to go back to Oregon and visit everyone, it's really nice to return home. It was a great week filled with special people, moments and memories, but Thomas and I were both sick. My congestion eased early in the week but my coughing still lingers.

Thomas came down with a similar bug Thanksgiving afternoon but it hit his little body much harder. In a house full of people, he slept in the middle of it all in a living room chair. For the next 24 hours, he was unable to hold down any food or liquid. We had originally planned to return to CA the day after Thanksgiving but he was in no condition to travel. And, as it turns out, he didn't improve all afternoon so later Friday evening, Mike took him to the ER for a multitude of tests and an IV for dehydration. He was released a few hours later and immediately began to improve.
.
We left the next morning (Saturday) for our return drive to California and he traveled just fine. He still has a little cough, but you'd never know he had been as sick as he was just two days ago.
