We're Back!!!

Sorry for the long absence.....Addison got sick on Christmas Eve and life has been hectic since. We don't have many pictures from Christmas Eve or Christmas Day but we had such a fun time with our families.

We had a great party at Grandma Joy's house on Christmas Eve with lots of family. After we took Addison home, she woke at 2:00 am with a high fever (Addison has never had a high fever) and was really agitated. Since we just got back from Mexico and she was having other symptoms, we called the on-call nurse and she told us Addie needed to be seen right away.

So our first trip to the ER with Addison was at 2:30 in the morning Christmas day!!! :(

Here's Addison's hospital bracelet on Christmas Day.....so sad!!!

Luckily she wasn't dehydrated and some lab results came back normal so we were able to go home around 4 am. We all slept in that morning!!! We had a nice Christmas lunch with my parents and then took it easy that night.

Here she is on Christmas afternoon with her new table - she loved it but right after opening it immediately took a 3 hour nap!

Addison was sick for one more week, with her symptoms changing from fever to a rash....


The saddest part of the whole thing was how different our little girl was acting. She is NOT a cuddly baby at ALL....and all we could do all day was hold her. She slept so much and she just didn't look like our little girl. I feel so much for parents who children have much longer and severe illness or health problems....you feel so helpless! We are so lucky to have family and friends close who were able to come help out for a few days.

We are happy to have our little girl back to her healthy, happy, normal self!!!
