Finally home...

Mark 9:36

He took a little child...in his arms....

This isn't the whole verse but it really helped me thru this whole past week and a half. My last entry about Owen having "Spring Fever" was an understatement. He went on to top out at 105.7!!! Very scary to say the least but I knew that Jesus indeed had him in His hands the entire time. And did I mention I was sick for 3 of these days?...ugh.

The whole mess came to a head after 6 miserable days (and nights) of fever and then on Saturday when we headed in to Urgent care and were finally diagnosed with pneumonia! We were sent home (relieved) to take care of him at home. But then, he kinda crashed that night and we were admitted to the hospital and stayed their until today when we were finally discharged.

But now we're well at last. He does still have pneumonia actually but the antibiotics have done wonders, except for his bottom which has SEVERE diaper rash! Poor baby. Here are some pics of our hospital times. Thanks for praying for him!

My temperature has dropped 11 degrees in 12 hours and you're photographing me? Seriously?

Don't come too close to me or I'll club you with this thing!

Ah, this is more like it. Thanks Mamaw Becca and Papaw Andy for the balloons!

Ok, so I'm busting out of this place later...shhh...don't tell anyone;-)

Spring fever?

Yes, Owen indeed has Spring fever...104.7 degrees to be exact. The MD says it's likely viral and I will just watch him. He's quite pathetic being a lil' sicky and all;-(

Here are some pictures from Easter my soon to be brother in law Jason took;-)

Little Update

Mark 16:6

"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.


Owen had his 5 month RSV vaccine shot yesterday. Thus, he was weighed and measured. He weighed in at 10 pounds 15 ounces and was 21 1/4 inches long (that quarter inch is impressive;-).

He's doing great and looking forward to Easter and all our visitors including family who haven't seen him in person since he was born (since they live so far away). I know they are all soooo excited to see him and love all over him, and the TJ and Jake of course!

I pray that you have a blessed Easter and rejoice because He has risen!
