Bath fun

I needed to kill some time today, So I got a tub and had a big water play/bath time afternoon.
It was great and they had loads of fun...probably took up a good hour and a half of my long afternoon, so that was a plus as well. Ethan is doing super well, I am so happy that he took the proper medicine and that we found out what was wrong, because he has been eating so much better since finishing his anti biotics, and even happier then he was before (if thats possible). These photos are from today, enjoy.

almost better!!!

Ethan is pretty much better now, he had his last shot yesterday...(totally heartbreaking)....and is on his last day of oral antibiotics and the doctor checked him yesterday and was surprised as to how well he was and how good he looked...so thats a relief! I'm so happy all the shots are over, because he LOVES going out in the car, and has never been scared of the hospital at all, cuz he normally just goes in for little check ups and a occational perscription for a cold or cough, ect. But he got smart after the 2nd shot and realised that everytime he went to the hospital (in this last week), they hurt him and so the last 2 shots, the second we drove up to the clinic, he started crying and saying no....he was so scared of getting his shots that he didnt even want to get in the car on the last day. This weekend were going to take him to a park that has fun rides and play places, so that he wont think every time he goes out he has to get an owiee. Anyway, I'm glad thats over....he just got in his 9th and 10th tooth (molars), and 2 more are looking like they will break through any day now...so that has made him a little sad and owiee, but other then that he is doing super well and sleeping great! I love you XXX

quick update

sorry i'm not posting....I'll explain.

Ethan went in for tests (blood, stool, ect.) because there was a salmonella virus going around and so I wanted to check to see if he had it. He wasn't showing any signs of being sick or anything
(other then having diareah for about a week), he was his normal self and totally happy so I didn't think he had anything. But little did I know, his results came in and from what the doctor told us he has the very worst case of salmonella (4 different types of it), and it was so bad that it has turned into Typhoid fever. I sorta freaked out cuz he said if he doesnt show better results by sunday, he will need to be hospitilized. For the next 4 days he will take a shot per day of anti biotics and is also taking another anti biotic by bottle. He is acting totally fine, super happy, no fever, an occatioal tummy pain....but he's being sooo tough for having such a serious sickness.

Please keep him in your prayers, I deffinetly do not want him to have to be hospitilized and we are doing everything we can to make him better.
The doctor said that he looks like he will pull through it pretty fast because he doesnt even have a slight fever. Hopefully after sunday (his last shot) the virus will be completely gone and he will be better.

Love you all! I'll post updates as much as possible. XXX
