We had a really nice Thanksgiving. The trip ended up being quite an adventure. We drove down to my grandmother's house Tuesday afternoon. I left a bit later than I had originally planned because Monday was so hectic that I had no time to pack. Because we were in such a hurry I was not thinking when I selected my shoes for the day. My husband bought me the cutest black heels last weekend and I slipped these on as we left the house. When we arrived at my grandmother's we went to the supermarket. The store did not have disinfectant wipes to wipe the cart baby seat with like the store in my town. I ended up carrying the baby for what seemed like forever in the supermarket. My three-inch heels were looking cute but not feeling so hot. I was feeling tired when we came back to her house. The "fun" was not over for the day. The baby spiked a fever, 102, around eight-thirty that evening. To the emergency room we went. My daughter has bronchitis so I assumed that the baby did too. At ten they released us after giving the baby a clean bill of health. I do not know why he is feeling bad. I think he might be teething. I was exhausted at the end of the day but at least I had switched to my tennis shoes before the trip to the hospital.

Wednesday was fairly uneventful, thank goodness. Thanksgiving was really nice. My uncle was able to join us and my husband drove in Wednesday night. I had originally offered to do all the cooking but my grandmother ended up cooking the turkey and the dressing. She also made the fruit salad and baked a pecan pie, (yum). All I did was make the cheesecake pie, the green bean casserole and whip the potatoes. Everything was great. It was especially great spending time with my family.

Last night I saved this post to this point as a draft. I am picking up today at this point. The baby was very sick last night. He had fever and was coughing so badly he was nearly throwing up. We took him to the ER here in town. Four hours later the doctor saw us and it turns out he has an ear infection and an infection in his throat. I had a feeling he was sick. That is why I took him to the ER Tuesday night. Last night the doctor prescribed him an antibiotic. He also had a dose in the ER. He spent the remainder of the night, (we arrived home at three in the morning,) without a fever. He is on the road to getting better now. My daughter is also recovering well from her bout with bronchitis.
