Sick Baby

Well today has been a rough day. Liam is sick. We slept in this morning and went to a late breakfast. After breakfast we went shopping. Liam seemed a little warm when we were out, but that wasn't unusual. It is about 90+ degrees here with 100% humidity. The air is really thick (even worse than August in St. Louis) and we were all a little warm. When we got back to the Rex, we took his temp. It was 102.5 degrees. He was incredibly irritable and cranky. We gave him Motrin and Tylenol and then his fever broke. He is still sick though. This is the worst behaved he has been so far (understandibly). We are going to take him to the doctor tomorrow. The docotor that is traveling with us suspects and ear infection, but doesn't have his equipment to check. Did I mention what a blessing it has been to have a docotor with us. WOW - we are so thankful for him.

We didn't have our interview at the Embassy today, but it is scheduled for tomorrow. Liam's passport is ready to be picked up also. We will have a busy day tomorrow. Hopefully he will feel a little better.

It seems like we are on schedule to be able to come home next week as scheduled. We just can't wait to be with Aiden and have our whole family together at last.

Even when he is sick, he is so cute. I will be praying that if it is an ear infection, that it will be better before he flies home. Make sure to bring something for him to suck on so his ears will be ok for the flight. Love you all!!!

Oh Craig, I just enjoy reading through this journal. What a wonderful way to record history for Liam and Aiden. Taylor has been sick - 7 days, 3 trips to the Dr., 2 trips to the emergency room. She had to have an IV and blood tests. Think she just had a very bad case of the flu. Lost 15 oz. of her 17 lb 15 oz frame. She turned 1 yr old on Sunday, Sept. 3rd..thankfully she was well then -and what fun we all had. So sorry you are all sick right now. I just did get back to work after being out 2 days (3 days with the flu). It's worse to be away from home then, too. Thank you for sharing all God's goodness to you. Love you, Diana
