Ready to Roll...Finally.

Here he is, the man of the hour, the almost two year-old looking ready for his upcoming San Diego vacation, but it wasn't always that way... One Saturday morning, not too long ago, the sweet J woke up and wanted pancakes. Not too much to ask is it? Well, according to his stomach, yes, yes it was way too much to ask.Soon enough he was sicker than anything I've ever seen in my life with a stomach virus. After blacking out on his changing table and having four EMTs surround him for a good half hour, Jared was on his second ambulance ride of the year! Years from now we'll be able to joke that he took an ambulance ride every year to celebrate his birthday...years from now.
The above photo was taken when we got home from the hospital and pretty sums up J's past week: wanting to "play please", only to end up resting his head on the couch.
And this is the Squish at the hospital. Looking at this picture makes me want to cry, so I will stop looking and simply say that I'm very grateful to everyone that helped us through this. Thank you.

  2. I did cry. What a sweet little boy. Here's hoping he is getting back to normal. You inspire me to maybe post about Max's tests. I've been avoiding it.

  3. That poor child. He's getting old enough to be scared, too. :(

  4. Poor little man...and poor you! A vacation definitely seems in order. Hope everyone is recovering well--mentally and physically.
