Not So Much Fun at Cooks....

February was a month filled with some not so fun sickness. It seems that we have all been so sick this month! We are ready for some days of no fever, coughs, and runny noses. :)

We had to make our first trip ever to Cooks Children's Hospital. Our poor Little Man was just miserable and not eatting. He had a bad case of bronciolitis. His congestion and coughing was causing him not to want to eat. We were afraid that he was becoming dehydrated so we went ahead and took him to the ER. The poor baby had to be stuck six times before the nurse found a vein that was able to support an I.V. and he had to spend the night. Needless to say, his first Super Bowl was spent being rocked by Mommy and Mimi. The hospital and staff was absolutley amazing in both care and atmosphere. As a parent, you pray that you are never in a situation in which you need a children's hospital. When you find yourself in that situation you suddenly become so grateful for their expertise.

Due to the stress of the situation and a very fuzzy mind I forgot to take my camera to capture this not so fun experience. Though, once we arrived home I took this picture of Kaleb with his new friends he made at the hospital. Kaleb wants to say thank you to Mommy and Daddy for the monkey, thank you Mimi for the puppy, and thank you Cooks for the sweet Teddy Bear :)

I have been told by many parents that when they had sick children that is when they truly learned to pray. I have to say that this is my experience as well. There is nothing like having a sick baby and not being able to help. It seems all you can do is put your sweet baby in the hands of God and know that he is in good hands. Thank you God for your healing, peace, and use of doctors to make my sweet boy healthy again :)
