Will's first trip to the . . .

emergency room happened this weekend! Long story short, he spiked a pretty high fever Friday night (103.8), we couldn't get it down through the night, called the doctor again Saturday morning and he recommended a trip to the ER. Got to the ER around 9:00 a.m. and stayed there for what felt like a year and a half, but was actually only about 4 hours. After several blood tests, 2 x-rays and four failed attempts to get an IV in his arm, they admitted Will to the hospital with pneumonia. Will and I stayed the at the hospital last night with the devoted help of his Aunt Vicky and came home this afternoon. He's doing really well. He's on some heavy duty antiobiotics and a breathing treatment (all of which he hates) but he's getting stronger by the minute. Glenn left for his last hunting trip of the season on Saturday morning so he missed the excitement but was a steady voice on the other end of the phone when I was having my mommy-freakout moments. He offered to come home several times but we had everything under control.

We have some pictures that Aunt Vicky took that I will be posting later. Will looked pretty cute (all things considered) in his little hospital gownl. Right now, it's a little too fresh. Thanks to all who sent prayers and good wishes our way. I hope this is our last trip to the hospital for a very long time, or at least until mid-February.
