1st Christmas and 1st ER Trip!

 Our First Christmas... We had a great Christmas together with family. Liam wasn't quite sure what to do, but he got lots of help from his cousin Mia. The paper was a hit but he also enjoyed his toys. He got quite a few visits from Santa since my Dad dresses up as Santa for parties every year. By the 3rd visit Liam didn't cry and even sat on his lap for a picture. But it was a great holiday season for both of us. I am so thankful he is in my life, He is such a joy and brings a real meaning to love. And  a small picture of what God's love for us must look like.

 First trip to the ER. It's been a crazy last few days. Liam spiked a fever Saturday afternoon of 102.9 it went down quickly with some Advil. He had a low grade fever the rest of the evening. I gave him medicine and put him to bed, but he woke up around 230am and his fever had spiked to 104 and climbing. It was pretty scary, I woke my mom up and we went on our way to Children's ER. Six and a half hours later, two attemps at drawing blood, a chest xray, two shots and a night full of no sleep for the three of us. We were sent home with what seemed to be a bacterial infection. His fever has continued, some times spiking to 103 through out the day yesterday and some today. We went to the doctor today and he believes it is a virus. Liam seems to be doing much better, he is crawling around playing and getting into trouble as usual. Hopefully we are on the up end of this crazy bug. It's no fun watching my usually happy, crazy baby be so sad and pitiful. I did get to enjoy lots of cuddle time with him, but I can live with never going through that again!
