Climbing

Conner has found the stairs. He tries every day to make it one more step higher. It's the first thing he does in the morning and then he tries all day long. Yesterday he actually made it up one step and then he decided he was going to stay there for a while. So cute!

Canning

For the past week I have been busy with my canning projects. My family has been patient with a super messy kitchen and supper messy house while I have been doing all this. With the peaches we ended up with 33 quarts in jars and 7 quarts in bags with 3 gallon size ones set aside for peach crisp later in the year. With the spaghetti sauce we ended up with 13 pint jars. Not as many as I would have liked, so I will probably do more this week. This was my first time attempting this on my own, I think I actually enjoyed it.

The sickness has passed, almost

I am VERY happy to inform you all that except for an occasional runny nose my Conner is back to normal. HALLELUJAH! His breathing is getting back to normal also, and no more fevers. This morning he is actually crawling all over and playing nicely with his sister. His smile is back and it's SO VERY nice to see. Thanx again everyone, hopefully this week will be nothing like last week was.

Update

Today things are good. Conner actually made it through the night with out an incredibly high fever, just 101. He slept better and is acting better today. He did wake up with a fever of 102 though. The REALLY good part is that he is acting more like himself. He is trying to be happy and he is eating a TON. He still won't eat normal food and if you get a syringe out he will turn his head the other way. (We give his meds in a syringe). I am so thankful to all of you who said and are saying prayers on behalf of us. Hopefully the fevers will taper off soon and the constant runny nose will subside soon also. Thanx again.

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.
