What's a holiday without a little holiday humor... Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Twilight Is AWESOME!!!

I have seen the new Twilight movie. I have to say it so disgustingly romantic and I can't get enough!! I even had to start reading the books again. It's like the craze has started all over again. I love it! If you haven't seen the movie yet... GO!! GO NOW!!! It is SOO GOOD!!! I'm going again. Anyone want to come?

Hooray!!

Connor is doing much better. He's been drinking better, but pretty much the only thing I can get him to drink is apple juice. But as long as he's drinking it's ok! He's still picky about what he'll eat, but he's slowly getting better and eating more. Thank you so much for all your prayers! I know they've helped! Within another week I think he'll be completely better! YAY!!

Update

Connor is still not eating much or drinking. But he's getting enough to still stay healthy. At least I hope he is. But this morning I noticed his lips a little dryer then I think they should be and it worried me. I think he's getting closer to dehydration. I'm doing all I can to get fluids in him, but he just won't take it half the time. We appreciate your prayers! Thank you! I know he would be a lot worse without them. I'll continue to keep updating as things happen. Hopefully he won't need an IV!

Prayers

Connor is still sick, but more then that he's in a lot of pain. I took him to the doctor last night and discovered his whole mouth is full of painful blisters and sores. He hasn't eaten in 4 days, and I can barely get him to drink enough that he stays hydrated. If all of you could remember him in your prayers it would really help. I took him to the dentist today and found out he has herpes of the mouth. It's like getting a cold sore, only since he's never been exposed to it before it's doing this to him. The dentist said that 90% of kids go through this before they're 2. At least it wasn't anything serious. It's just a virus that has to pass. But it's a very painful time for him. As a mother I want what's best for my child naturally. I want him to be safe, and protected. I want him to not hurt. But I can't take away his pain and it kills me. I prayed so hard last night that the pain would stop long enough that he could at least sleep, and I think my prayers helped him. But if you all could remember him in yours I know he would benefit from it. Thank you!

Baby's Bad Day

You always feel bad when your little one gets hurt. But then there are some days when he just can't catch a break. Today was not Connor's day. It actually started last night when he broke out with a fever of 101.3. It continued through the night, and by this morning it had gone down to a 99.1, but again tonight back up to a 101.7. He just felt sick. Then today as he was just starting to feel better after we gave him some medicine, he tripped and fell and smashed his nose. We looked over and he had blood running down his nose. I don't think I need to tell you I FREAKED!! Luckily he didn't break it, but now he has a bruise across the bridge of his nose. But it didn't end there. After I got him settled and stopped the bleeding, I put him down and he walked away only to run head first into the chair and knock himself over. He didn't hurt himself too bad, but he got a little mark on his forehead and of course needed some reassurance. I gotta tell ya... most of you, if not all of you know how accident prone I was as a kid. I didn't get the nick-names "slam bam" and "boomslammer" by making noise with pots and pans. No, hardly a day went by when you didn't hear me crashing into something. And now poor Connor! My sweet little boy has picked up my accident genes and now he's following in my footsteps and doesn't even know it! I feel like I should cover my house in foam rubber. The other day even at my parent's house, he turned around on the stairs and before I could catch him he tumbled backwards. I caught him a few steps down though. But it just goes to show you what this poor kid is in for. I just hope he doesn't start thinking dangerous is fun! Oh boy.. what am I going to do!
