Christmas did take place 11 days ago but it's never too late to post some pictures, right?!? I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday and Happy New Year. Our break was nice but full of doctor's visits. Ella kick started the break with strep throat. By the middle of the week I thought Bennett had it too so I took him in but the test came back negative. Friday and Saturday he had a high fever but Christmas he was feeling better and the next couple days, too, just a yucky couch. However, on Wednesday he took a turn for the worse. He was cranky and clingy all day. Then at 5:00 he fell asleep on the couch and his cheeks were bright red so I took his temp - 103.6. I called the nurse line and they told me to take him in. As soon as he woke up we went to Acute Kids. I thought they'd tell me bronchitis and send me off to Target with a script. When we arrived his temp was 104.4! His oxygen saturation was low and his lungs weren't clear. Well, so much for my prediction! He ended up with a case of pneumonia. :( After a shot, breathing treatment, chest x-ray, antibiotic prescription and almost sent to Children's ER we were allowed to go home with the Nebulizer and strict instructions to see his pediatrician in the morning. Thank goodness for texting because I was texting Chris the whole time and he called the pedi and scheduled Bennett an appt at 9am. The next morning his oxygen was still low so we had to go back on Friday. It finally came up two points or numbers. Her instructions were to let him go outside on Saturday and breathe deep breaths to help clear out the lung that was still clogged. She said our friends' ranch was a great idea so off we went Saturday morning. He's finally better with a little residual cough lingering but I'm going to go ahead and turn the Nebulizer back in. He wasn't a fan at first but he and "Darth Vader" became friends.
I hope your breaks were peaceful and had less trips to the doctor!
Ready to open the traditional Christmas Eve gift - a new Christmas book
Bennett got on Pop Pop's lap and said, "Awkward." It was pretty funny.
Grandma & Pop Pop stayed the night with us!
Christmas Morning!
Love the fresh out of bed look
She asked for a gumball machine...
Yea, a shirt box!
He loves his light saber!
What's next?
Bennett told Santa he wanted the Toy Story Garbage Landfill Play Set. Santa didn't disappoint!
After they were finished opening their presents they discovered two envelopes on the mantle. These took them on a scavenger hunt. Ella's said, "Go to your Daddy's office"
Another present!
She has no idea what THAT is for?!?!?
KINDLE FIRE, YEA!!!!!
Bennett's note said, "Go to the garage"
He looked right at his present and then turned to the left before he it dawned on him that there was a...
JEEP for him (& Ella to share)
They were both real excited and couldn't wait to put on clothes to go test it out! Thank goodness Daddy & Pop Pop had that thing charging all night. :) I wish I could fit in it. It looks fun!!
Happy New Year!
Hugs,
