Sick :(

So we have had a bout of sickness going through our family recently; Caleb was in the hospital for a few days earlier this week and ended up being diagnosed with a viral infection, and now Rachel seems to be having some feverish issues too. Hopefully she doesn't come down with something as well! Caleb had to go to the ER after his reaction to peanut butter about a year ago, but he didn't have to stay over night. This was his first hospital stay where they admitted him. He went in on Monday after a fever of 104.7 and an extremely elevated white blood cell count, and was discharged on Wednesday. The poor little guy had everything from a chest x-ray to a spinal tap to ensure it wasn't something extremely serious like pneumonia or viral meningitis. Thankfully it turned out to just be a viral infection, not something bacteria based. Praise God! We were relieved. So we're home now and Caleb is on the mend, but as I said, our new worry is trying to keep Rachel from getting sick. So now that we're home, I thought I would post a few pics from when Caleb was in the hospital, and then some fun recent videos of Rachel as well. She'll be 10 months old next week already!


Caleb having some tests done on Monday after they put in the IV.

Caleb in his hospital gown (in the hospital crib).


Caleb's dinner one night...not too bad! :)

A special "get well" surprise from Grammy and Pops...a new camera!

And here he was on Wednesday, back at home after being discharged. He was already throwing balls around and tackling Daddy, so we knew that the old Caleb was back!


The first video is of Rachel playing peekaboo.



This is a fun video of Rachel pretending she's a frog while we were killing time at the hospital (she has started doing this ever since she heard the "Jump, Jump" frog song at our library class). Too cute!


And finally, one of Rachel dancing during one of our worship nights (Caleb was dancing too of course)! She likes to bounce that's for sure!
