On the Edge...

of a breakdown! Jacob has been sick for the last 9 days. Not just the run of mill cold, either. Full blown throwing up, severe abdominal cramping, coughing, and sore throat. After 2 trips to the ER, 4 days of missed school and a trip to the pediatrician we have an initial diagnosis, walking pneumonia (http://www.drgreene.com/21_206.html). His Dr. isn't sure that this is what he has, but has decided to treat him for it and see if it works. He is now on an anti-spasmotic and erythomycin. We take him back to the doc on Friday for a recheck, let's hope he's on the mend by then!

As if that isn't enough, Josh went to the Dr. today and it looks like he will be needing an esophageal angioplasty sometime in the near future. The procedure seems to be fairly straight forward, and the recovery should be easy as well. Here's more info: http://www.gihealth.com/html/education/photo/esophagealDilation.html

We made our travel plans for Christmas! We are so excited to be going home for the holidays. The kids can't wait, I probably shouldn't have told them , they're already asking how long till we leave! We get into Denver on December 17 and will be in town until January 4! Can't wait!
