No fevers!

Carson has not had a fever since early yesterday morning!!
He had his try at some applesauce with rice cereal mixed in and did pretty well until he burped then some came up. So a small vomit.
His iron is pretty low right now, but nothing that can't be helped with some supplements. He has also lost a pound. I'm sure as soon as his body is back to normal all that will come back and level out right where it should be.

Last night Chris and I got to sneak away for about an hour to get a bite to eat together. Grandma stayed with Carson and snuggled him and he slept almost the whole time. It felt so nice to feel the outside air. Especially since it was 6:30pm. We ate at Pei Wei's and then got Dairy Queen. My blizzard was so crappy! I ordered a small Reese's peanut butter cup and there was hardly any candy in it! Very disappointing for sure. I ended up getting a horrible stomachache and felt nauseous for a couple hours. It sucked, but glad I got to get out for a short time.

We are sitting here in our room listening to some sort of drill going on out in the hall. Or at least I think it is a drill.
The other day from our window we saw a fire right off the freeway. We missed the crash, but saw the aftermath. It looked like a van lost control and took out some signs and was majorly on fire! We saw an ambulance, firetruck and police rush to the scene. Hopefully those involved made it out ok.

Today Chris is bringing the kids to visit!!! I am SO excited! I haven't seen my kiddos since last Friday! I've never been away from them that long. Talking on the phone and seeing pictures of them via text is just not good enough! I am SO homesick it hurts sometimes. Especially at night. I think we just might have to throw a little party when we get home! Which by the way, is looking like Thursday June 11th. Hopefully everything continues on the up and we don't have to stay any longer than that. I just want to be home with my family and doing all the "mom" things I use to do.

JUST IN!!! Carson doesn't have to be hooked up to IV fluids anymore! Only when it's time for his antibiotics! Last lab blood culture looked good! He's a free man! Well in that aspect any way!!!! I feel like having a party just for that!!!
