The Answer

We just got back from the Dr and Conner doesn't have ear infections what he has is RSV. The Dr said to keep giving him the antibiotics though b/c he has already started them. She them gave me a prescription to help his mucus thin out so he can actually breathe. She said he is very contagious and to stay away from other babies until his mucus is cleared up. FINALLY someone gave me some answers that make sense.

About Conner

Yesterday was a fairly good day. Conner was acting like he was feeling better and Kaily had a good day too. Well, last night things got bad. Conner woke up around 12:30 am with a fever of 105.9. I freaked out. Clint put him in a bath and then we took him outside to keep him cooled off. We also gave him some Tylenol to help with the fever and aches he was clearly having. Well, that all wked, thankfully. Now, however, my son doesn't want to be touched and he doesn't want to move. I am taking him in to the Dr. again today to see what could be wrong. Can I just ask everyone who is out there reading this if they could keep Conner in their prayers. He has never been like this before and I am very concerned. Thank you. I will keep everyone posted as to what is going on.

The Gospel According to Kaily

I had an interesting conversation with Kaily this morning. It went something like this... KAILY- Mom, am I going to die soon? ME- No, Why did you ask that? KAILY- well, Papa Bob died b/c he got too old and I am getting bigger. I'm not going to die until I get bigger, bigger, bigger? (as she is jumping up and down with her arms stretched over her head to show how big she is going to be) ME- That's right, you will get a lot older before you die. (a moment of contemplation for Kaily) KAILY- When I die I will talk to Jesus. Is Jesus my brother? ME- Yes KAILY- And Heavenly Father is my dad? ME- yes, he is our spirit father and Jesus is our spirit brother KAILY- and when I die I will see everyone again, all my cousins and my family and Jesus and Heavenly Father. (said as a statement) ME- yes, that's right. KAILY- And the Holy Ghost helps me to feel better when I feel sad and he helps me to have good dreams. The Holy Ghost makes us better when we are sick b/c Daddy gives Conner and me a blessing and Heavenly Father tells the Holy Ghost to make us better. (said as a statement) We learned about the Holy Ghost in Nursery on Sunday. The weeks before we talked about who Heavenly Father is and Jesus Christ and how much they love us. It always amazes me how much they truly do understand and how much they really are listening, even when we think they aren't. I'm so grateful for Kaily and her love of the gospel. I am SO thankful for inspire leaders who wrote the new Nursery manual and the blessings I am already seeing from teaching from it.

FYI

So I haven't really been in the mood to blog lately. I'm really still not, but I thought I should explain why. Things have been so crazy around here and I am worn out. I have all these pictures that I need to put onto the comp, but I don't want to do that either. So, basically, I'm being lazy and will post lots of stuff next week when I have the pics. On top of everything we found out that Conner has his first ear infection. Lucky us he has 2 instead of just one. His first tooth did actually pop out the other day and ever since he has had a high fever. We finally got him on some meds, but I am so tired from lack of sleep. So, sorry about being lazy, but I'll catch up next week.

My Shadow

I have a little shadow that follows me from room to room, at least he would if he could move fast enough. I know, that will come with time. Conner is getting so mobile now. He tries to find me whenever I leave a room and cries the entire time. I can't even go to the bathroom or take a shower these days with out him freaking out. He hold tightly to my shirt while he falls asleep and cries, "mama, mama, mama" when he can't see me or feel me. As much I totally ADORE this kid, I really want to be able to pee without the screaming. He loves his sister too, he wants to be wherever she is as long as it's not too close to her. He loves her from far away. He loves his dad, but even Clint will tell you that he is just a way to get to me when I won't pick him up. If he sees me and wants to be cute he'll look at me cock his head to one side and coo a high little coo and then giggle. That is his way of saying, "Look how cute I am, you know you want to pick me up." He's so dang CUTE! I just love him. I guess the shadow isn't so bad, I know I'll miss it when he moves beyond this stage...
