Similarities

Canyon


Bridger


In both these pictures they are about 3 1/2 months. They look like brothers don't they??

Thank you for all the concern about Bridgers health. He is doing better. He is drinking a little more everyday and he no longer is having temperatures. He will be good and new soon.

A trip to the ED

Yesterday I couldn't deny that Bridger needed to be seen at PCMC emergency department. After 5 days of fevers with a temperature hitting at a scorching high of 102.7. I took him in. Blood, urine, boogers and a chest x-ray were taken. He was given a bolus of IV fluids. He began to perk up a little but then he spiked another temperature. We were then transfered to the rapid treatment unit for observation. They didn't want to send him home until the temperatures were under control and he began to drink better. Evenutally some of the lab work came back. He has Adenovirus. A common virus that invades the respiratory tract and the GI tract. It causes babies to have fevers, to be congested and have diarrhea. Because of the congestion Bridger was not drinking and became dehydrated, so that is why he got the fluid bolus. After 12 hours of sitting, sucking out boogers and him getting IV fluids he started to drink a little. He was not drinking enough to go home, he only drank 4 oz the whole day, but the doctor knows me and knows that I know what to do for a sick baby so she sent us home. I am so thankful for my knowledge and experience but it is so different when it is your own baby. I was sad, stressed and scared, but once we got to the hospital all my fevers went away and the nurse in me came out. I was composed.

Now we are home and Bridger is getting better. John gave him a blessing. He has had a low grade temp but nothing bad. He is drinking but it needs to be in a bottle. So I am pumping and feeding. Not the most convenient but anything to keep him hydrated. Hopefully soon he and Canyon will be 100% again. (Canyon has it too but not as bad).

September Randomness

Cute matchy matchy boys. John doesn't like it when we are matchy matchy but when it comes to our boys it is all good.

A friend in the neighbors backyard. Canyon called it a COW. We had a little lesson on animals and this was a deer not a cow.

My sister-in-law Jen got married September 22nd. It was a beautiful day for a beautiful bride. John and his mom

Oh my what amazing eyelashes. He gets those from John.A picnic in the back of the car. Canyon loves our new car.John and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary last night. October 8th. We had a wonderful dinner at our favorite restaurant, Citrus Grill. Then we came home and watched a movie. The sad news of this week is that I lost my wedding ring. I have looked everywhere for it and it is gone. So maybe by next year I will have found it or have gotten a new one.

This picture we took and I asked John to smile.

This is what I got... A CRAZY SMILE.

I told him to smile for real. Oh what a nice smile it is, Right?!?
