First Time Apart

Yesterday was our first time away from Elijah since he was born (not counting when family watches him). Our neighbor Stefany and her daughter Malaina (love them!) stayed with him. Although it wasn't under ideal circumstances. No fancy date or weekend getaway, just a trip to the ER! I'd only been to an ER once and I forgot how long everything takes. FOREVER. But the wait was worth it, we got a really good doctor. Matt has been fighting a fever for the last week, he went to the doctor twice, did some tests, said we'd have to wait a week for results, given antibiotics, blah blah blah. Well I had had enough of keeping him in quarantine and being worried if Elijah was going to get it. Finally his fever spiked at 103.4. We called Mom A. and we headed to the ER after I put Elijah to bed. And for the record Matt is NEVER EVER sick. I've known him 7 years and I have yet to see him go to the hospital or to the doctor for other than a physical exam. I don't know if I've ever seen him throw up. So I naturally freaked myself out by googling his symptoms and I thought he had cancer or something. Remind me to never do that again. Anyways, the verdict is he just has a bad viral infection, he's taking a strong antibiotic just to kill off anything bacterial and a combo of tylenol and ibuprofen. So it has been a very exciting week here in Texas.
