First Will got it, and then I got it. Now Mike has decided he wants to join us in the coughing fun. But this little cough has led to some craziness at the Fessler house.
Two weekends ago, Will came home with a bad cough. It started off harmless, but quickly started to sound bad. There must have been something to it, because I got sick with a cold. We decided to watch it for a few days before we called the doctor.
Last Tuesday, Aimee(baby-sitter and good friend) called me to tell me that Will wasn't breathing well. All the blood rushed out of my head and my heart sank. She continued and reassured me that Will was feeling ok, he was laughing and playing, but she could tell that he was working very hard, due to congestion, to breath. So, I called the doctor and took him that afternoon. The doctor decided to put him on breathing treatments every 4-6 hours, tested for RSV and told us to come back on Thursday. Praise God the results for RSV were negative, but we still had to continue the treatments and by Thursday we had to start giving him an oral steriod. Will hates the treatments, he fusses and tries to pull the mask off most of the time, but what can we do?
During the course of this fun, my cold turned into sinus pressure and headaches(always fun), Will didn't feel good, and we planned a short trip to Charleston to visit friends who are planting a church there. The trip was in the works for a few weeks and since we had no life-threatening illnesses, we decided to go on. We did call ahead to let them know of our situation, but they wanted us to come on. We enjoyed our time with Todd, Lori and their kids. We were able to see Todd's vision for River Church, and see the area where it will serve. That was neat, to actually see something that we had heard so much about for so long. We did get to see the city and some sights, but I didn't even pull the camera out. Thanks Todd and Lori for allowing us to stay with you. We miss you guys!
But in the midst of this chaos, some great things have happened as well. My mom came and stayed 2 days with us last week during her Spring Break. She was a huge help. Mike was able to go to Newnan to work, and I came home to a clean house and a happy baby. She even had most everything packed for us for our trip this past weekend. She truly served us out of a loving and generous heart, and we are so grateful to her. During her stay, Will started getting up on his knees like he wants to crawl. He is getting pretty good at it, we are sure he is going to be crawling any day. And then just last night, we were driving home and we got the call that Tammy's water had broken and she was in the hospital. They were supposed to induce this morning, but I haven't heard anything yet. That means sweet baby Caleb will be here soon! Our first nephew, we can't wait to meet him!
