Viral Infection!

So, sorry i haven't posted anything lately, this past week has been quite a duzy? for us. Last week the Volvo needed repairs on the car, the belts on the alternator were almost completely busted, and supposedly the battery was close to dead and the rear brake pads going out. But i hate mechanics especially when i go in. All i went in was for an oil change and Jordon and I ended up being there for 2 hours. The belts needed to be replaced but they printed out a thing for all the repairs needing to be done costing over $1,000 but when Chris and Dad look at it, it's just fine. They sure know how to take advantage of women! Drives me crazy!

But that wasn't the end of our troubles for the week. Friday after Jordon's nap, he woke up burning hot with a fever and not feeling good. He was a little cranky but still seemed mostly ok. The fever broke but then on Saturday he was still not doing the best so i gave him some acetimetaphin. His fever would come and go. He wasn't eating the best either. Chris and I ended up going to a movie while Kacey watched Jordon for about 15 minutes and then calling mom and dad to come over cause jordon puked like 3 times and was burning up again. He was such a sick little boy and wouldn't eat, he would drink a little for them but not too much. We took his temperature when he got home and he was almost at 102 degrees. Chris and Dad gave him a blessing and then as soon as they left we just put him to bed. All he wanted was for us to hold him to sleep, having such a fever like that he just wouldn't let us go. Saturday and Sunday night he would wake up around 3 in the morning wanting something to drink and some more tylenol. The only problem was he wouldn't let me put him back down in his crib so yes, a couple nights he would sleep with us. (But no worries, he is sleeping just fine by himself now!) I'm finally caught up on my sleep now.

Sunday Jordon stayed home with Daddy while i went to church. He actually took 2 naps that day but mostly on us. He still wasn't feeling good and hardly eating and only drinking a little, so I actually ended up taking out his baba that's been gone for quite a few months so he could get something down him finally. Mom was kind to bring over dinner, but we ended up eating it later, since we took Jordon to urgent care that evening. The good news is that it isn't an ear infection or strep throat but it is a nasty viral infection that's been going around lately.

He's doing a lot better now, i gave him motrin and it seemed to help a lot more. He broke his fever on monday and today he's got his appetite back. He's been sleeping a lot better at night and taking great naps. One day he took a 4 hour nap. Last night he slept 12 hours and still wanted to go down for a nap a little after 11. I'm glad he is sleeping and resting, that's the best thing when you are sick. So those of you wondering how he is doing, he's doing so much better, hopefully by this weekend he'll be back to his normal self. And hopefully this nasty rash he got too will be gone.

On Monday night we were able to meet Tyler who is visiting Kacey. It was sure great to meet the man who stole Kacey's heart, they look good together, and he seems to blend in with the family. They might come over this afternoon to see where Kacey grew up. It will be nice for him to see the Crawford house. Nothing else is really happening, just wanted to mostly update on Jordon's condition. It's good to see a smile back on his face again! We sure love our little boy!
