Christmas Saga

We had quite an "eventful" Christmas this year. The original plan for Christmas was to leave on December 23rd and travel to Sioux Falls, SD to spend it with my sister and her husband in their new house. Because there was a VERY large snowstorm coming we decided to leave a day early, so we drove up late on December 22nd. We got there just fine and were all settled in before the BIG storm hit. A few days before we left, Isaac started running a fever off and on. We didn't think too much of it since it wasn't consistent and there were no other symptoms. But once we got to Sioux Falls the fever got worse and worse. So, we decided we should take him to the doctor before it was Christmas Day and then we would have to take him to the ER. So, we took him to the doctor and found out he had pneumonia. The doctor gave him a shot of anti-biotics and we had to start giving him breathing treatments every 4 hours plus anti-biotics every day. The next two days it snowed, and snowed, and snowed; and Isaac's fever just kept getting worse and worse. The anti-biotics seemed to be doing nothing for him. So, on Christmas Day morning we took him into the ER. Thankfully, the doctor there said that because it was such a severe case of pneumonia it would take a few days before we started to see any improvement. So, we went ahead and had Christmas dinner and everything. It was hard to enjoy Christmas though with a kid that kept running a VERY high fever and kept throwing up because of all the flim in his throat. And then because it snowed for so long and so much (about 20" in Sioux Falls) we ended up staying 2 extra nights in Sioux Falls. After a VERY LONG week, we are finally home and all I can say is "Home, Sweet Home"!!
