Labor Day!

We spent Labor Day weekend in Gatlinburg! Everyone was quite well, until Thursday night. Friday was leaving day. Wes and Will both were up all night throwing up. At least we taught them to use the bucket! We went ahead and went to Gatlinburg thinking it was a stomach bug. By Friday night neither boy was throwing up, but Will started to run a fever of 99. Dr. Saben says not to worry if it isn't over 100.4. Remember he had JUST been to the doctor on Tuesday and had no ear infections or anything. So, Saturday we went about our business shopping, etc. By the time we got home for the Alabama game Will's fever was at 102! Of course, the closest place to take him was the hospital in Sevierville. A 15minute drive took an hour! We finally arrived at the hospital, and let me just say that was the best, organized, nicest hospital we have ever been to! We were in and out in under 2 hours! Guess what? My little baby was diagnosed with Strep! He was given a one-time shot and it should have cleared everything up. He still wasn't feeling well on Sunday, but hey medicine takes time. So, we went to one of those places were the boys to ride a choo-choo train and ride some carnival rides! They LOVED it! Will even had some giggles come out! Monday finally came and poor little Will still didn't feel good and he was still running a fever. Chad took him to a second shift doc in the box when we got home. A chest x-ray was done, blood drawn, and strep test done. The strep test came back negative, but Dr. Marshall said he still had it. The chest x-ray showed some pneumonia, but that the shot Will received on Saturday must have helped with that. So by Wednesday, our little baby was back at school playing and being his old self! Guess what, Wes never has gotten sick! (Yet!)
