Perfect Weekend For All But One Of Us

It was an almost perfect weekend. Weather was gorgeous, it was great being with the family, and the yard got mowed for the first time this season and looks great. Hallie and Kelly are healthy and in good spirits. One of Kelly’s longtime friends was in town and spent time visiting. I got a lot of quality Daddy time with the kids. I even spent time with my own parents, which was great.

The only thing missing was Travis’s health. The poor kid has run a fever of around 103 degrees for the past few days. He zones out in the daytime and wails at night. Occasionally he’ll perk up (right when the ibuprofen takes effect) and be his old self, but usually he’s just quiet. His appetite has taken a hit, too. That belly he’s been working so hard to build is going to slip away. 🙂

The doctor has given him a day or two to get back to normal. If that doesn’t happen, we’ll bring him back in for more testing. Man, it’s tough to watch the kids get sick.
