What a week!

After a hectic weekend, Justin woke up Monday morning with a fever. Didn't show any signs of illness all weekend long, but when I sat next to him on his bed Monday morning, I could feel the heat radiate off of him. It's been flutuating the last three days, even getting as high as 104. We've been keeping him home and away from Gabriel, which fortunately hasn't been tough. Poor guy has felt pretty lousy and hasn't really left his room much at all. So now we are caring for Justin and keep watch out over Gabe and Kendrick, hoping they stay healthy! Gabe has had a little nasal stuffiness for a couple of days we are watching closely, but it seems to be more associated with the reflux (he spits up, and it gets in his nose). I've been checking Gabe's temp pretty regularly again, just as we did in the hospital. He is sleeping well, so hopefully this is nothing. We didn't make it for a weight check today, since Justin and Gabe were both sound asleep at the time I usually take him. By the time they woke up, it was late morning and I didn't want to take Gabe into a potentially busy waiting room. We'll go tomorrow - What's one more day!

In addition to all of this, Mom, Dad and Tim left on Tuesday. Poor Mom said she felt like she was abandoning a sinking ship, but we are managing to stay afloat anyway! Tim has been sick too, so getting him home to heal was in everybody's best interest!
