Trip to Alabama
April 23rd, 2008
This past weekend Jonathan, David’s brother, got married so we took a trip to Alabama. The wedding was beautiful and it was so wonderful to see family. On Thursday, my family met us in Douglasville, GA and we hung out for a while. David took some pictures of all of the cousins and then we headed to Birmingham. Whenever we pulled into the parking lot of the hotel, Grandma, Grandpa and Jon were there waiting to see Andrew (and us, but mainly Andrew). The next day we had a little birthday party for Cousin Chris at PF Changs and then hung out at the hotel until the rehearsal and dinner. Grandma Joyce always outdoes herself and found a beautiful little bed and breakfast to host dinner for the wedding party. Everything was wonderful until Andrew came down with a high fever. He had felt a little warm earlier in the day but it didn’t seem like it was bothering him. Whenever we got back to the hotel his temperature registered at 103. Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Keith and Aunt Jennifer along with David and I said a prayer of healing over our little man. His temperature tapered off but came back in the middle of the night. This pattern continued all day Saturday and unfortunately he didn’t feel well during the wedding. He had another rough night of not sleeping which made it difficult for David and me. We finally took him to the doctor in Atlanta on our way home and it turns out he had tonsillitis, pharyngitis and a cold. They gave him a shot of medicine and he started feeling better that afternoon. The doctor let me look at his throat and it was so red. I felt horrible for not taking him to get medicine before I did. I knew that something was wrong because he didn’t act like himself the entire trip.
Thanks to God and the medicine, he is almost 100% now.
Andrew becomes more and more mobile everyday. He crawls around everywhere and gets into everything. At playgroup this morning, he kept crawling off the blanket at the park. He’s my little mover!!
