SICK

We've had a very sick baby on our hands. Friday night he gave us a scare because he was gasping for breath. Lance and I looked at each other and ran out the door, hopped in the truck and headed for the ER. About 2 seconds after we got in the truck, we realized that if Sawyer was screaming and crying, he wasn't having any issues breathing! We decided that he just got really congested and stopped up. We had a horrible weekend....very little sleep, Sawyer wouldn't eat ANYTHING, had a fever and was SO grumpy and clingy. Saturday I had to give him liquids through a medicine dropper. We stayed home from church on Sunday and I took him to the doctor Monday. She told me to give him Mucinex (why can't the nurse hotline tell you that?!?!) and it was one of those things we'd have to wait out.

By Tuesday we were seeing some improvement and were able to take him to Revival. He still wasn't sleeping great or eating like usual, but we saw glimpses of our happy baby!!

Here are some pictures I took of our sick little boy:


We moved Sawyer's mattress into the living
room because he coudln't sleep and tv was
making him happy! This picture was taken at
2am...he woke up and wanted to color!

"Washing dishes." Water makes this boy happy, and after
the night we had, all I wanted was to see him smile!

Get well balloons (and stuffed animals) sent
to him by Mush and Papa! How sweet!! :)
He was so excited!

Watching himself in the mirror!

Lots and lots of laying around watching
his shows.
By Sunday he was pretty much back to normal. We're so thankful to have our wild child back!
