A long week

As the title says it has been a long week for us. It started last weekend. Bert, Wyatt and I were already planning on seeing quite a bit of Bert's families in Bruce and Bloomer, WI when we found out that one of his HS classmates had passed away and there was a memorial service for him in Bruce on Sat. This was good for Bert because we were already going to be there so he could go to the service. We were going to Bruce to visit/meet Bert's Uncle Steve and family which expanded by one almost 4 weeks ago now. It was fun visiting with them and meeting Phillip. It is so hard to believe that Wyatt was that small 6 months ago.

Then we were off to Bloomer to have a picnic with a bunch of Bert's mom's family. All of Bert's siblings were there as well as his grandparents, an aunt, and a couple cousins. This was fun because his cousins have young children as well. The ages of these younger kids are 10 months and 3 days younger than Wyatt (as well as some older children). Sunday was then another long day for Wyatt with church, IHOP, and spending most of the afternoon at Aunt Leslie's watching the Twins game and Olympics.

Once Monday came around everyone was pretty tired. At some point during the day I was trying to keep Wyatt happy and picked him up and he felt very hot. He ended up having a temp of 103. The short version is we went to the clinic and they couldn't find anything really wrong so they wanted me to keep him on tylenol and mortin to try and keep him comfortable. He still didn't sleep well at all that night or at all on Tues. Then I started getting worried about dehydration after he hadn't drank anything for almost 14 hours. By Tuesday night he started feeling better, started eating and finally slept again from 7 pm-4:30 am when he was woken up really hungry. Things are now almost totally back to normal.

I have a couple video's I want to post but right now I'm having trouble getting them to load so I will try again tomorrow because it it time to go to bed.

Glad to hear that Wyatt is feeling better! Sally said that Lisa's little boy at daycare had the same thing and they called it a 'summer virus'. Scarey, nonetheless.

Don't you love it when you're a little freaked out and they say
"nothing seems to be wrong." On the one hand, thankfully nothing wrong! On the other... why the fevor?? Isaiah did the same thing and is currently dealing with a slight fevor every now and again. This, we think, are teeth coming in. (Or that's what I tell myself.)

Much love to you all!
