7 months:)

Ok, so technically he wont be 7 months until the 25th, but who cares? lol.... Logan's weighing in at around 22 pounds...and this past week we went on our first day trip with Rachel:) we went to Orlando to see Shelby who just acted like the hospital was going to be her "disneyworld" for a few days....She needed some cheering up so off we went to take Logan to her-I had been sending "get well pics" of him to her since she was admitted I believe anywhere from once to three times a day...but she was ALL SMILES when he was in her room playing:) We hung out with the boys for a while at the Orland Science Center where Logan fell in love with the dinosaur section and then made our way back to the hospital to see some family and make sure Shelby knew that she needed to go home cuz that room was too small to put all of us in there. We headed back home and Sunday was the first time I took Logan to church! He did amazing but I was the one in the sanctuary waiting for our nursery number to pop up instead of listening to the preacher....then Sunday night/Monday morning we started getting diarrhea, nothing big, he's teething and did it with the last tooth so I was thinking he'd be getting another one soon- however he went all week and calling his doctor, they told us to do the BRAT diet which is Bananas, Rice, Applesauce and Toast....well, Logan isn't able to eat toast, I don't give him apples and rice cereal upsets his stomach so we finally realized that he eats fresh bananas but not jar ones so I bought a bunch of bananas and fed him those as well as normal food- we stuck to just veggies until diarrhea was over...however-Friday he started getting fevers, though not very bad ones, regular low-grade you would get with teething, he got one around 9am then 1pm and then 6pm....I told Jerry if he gets one more fever I would be considering taking him to the dr because diarrhea had been going on for about a week and now fevers...well he made our minds up when he woke up and had another fever but felt different than the others, checking his temperature, we found it to be 102.3....so getting dressed we go to UF/Shands Pediatric Hospital and check him in- the doctor weighs him and checks his temp again, 101.8, it went down but was still a little worrysome because this child NEVER gets sick. They put us in a triage room and we are focused on Logan but also admiring the decor of the hospital. Completely themed to Finding Nemo and underwater images, the doors have circular windows that would be found on a ship, waves on the walls and the ceiling tiles have been painted by nurses and doctors in the theme of finding nemo...so the doctors come in to evaluate Logan and decide to take a urine sample from him, well he peed in the emergency room so there wasnt any chance of collecting so they try to do a catheter.....not fun, I was told to be the comforter for when everything was over and Jerry was gonna help hold Logan with the 2 nurses....Logan was crying pretty badly and kept looking over my way and when it was over, he was happy to have mommy back....they take it back to get results back and we sit there waiting for about 1 1/2 hours, by then, his fever has completely broken, hes eating and playing around...they come back in around 3am to tell us everything is normal, keep doing what we are doing and its either a viral bug or teething but with no "major" symptoms, they can't really tell us anything...so we pack up and go home, where Logan pukes formula ALL OVER me....and Jerry and I begin to take shifts on sleeping to keep an eye on him. Yesterday was better, he was pretty fussy and clingy but fevers weren't as bad. About 3pm, he decided to stop having fevers so we fed him some formula(no puking this time) and go to my parents house...we get home around 9:30 and hes really fussy...so tired from not sleeping these past couple of days finally caught up to him and he just cried and cried and cried. Didn't have a fever or anything so we fed him formula again and tried to get him to calm down enough to sleep. After about 30 minutes of continuous crying, I changed my rocking position to a very odd way and he fell right asleep. Not knowing how long the sleep would last, I tell Jerry(who stays up til 330) that I'm putting him in the bed with me until you come upstairs....he's ok with it since Logan's been sick and there Logan and I fell fast asleep til 530 when he decides its feeding/pooping and playing time...lol... no more fevers and drinking formula....he's been on water for two days and we introduced pedialyte(Which he absolutely HATES grape) so that bottle of milk really made him happy and full enough to sleep:) Now we are (he is) napping on the couch next to me. As long as I am in his sights he does fine....even started talking and smiling/laughing again:) Hopefully this doesnt happen again anytime soon and the ER visit will hopefully never happen again....
