Eventful Holiday



Our Christmas break started out a day early and with a bang! Chase had to go to the ER for breathing problems. He was diagnosed with Bronchialtitus, which was caused by a virus. He was a very sick little boy for about 24 hours. We survived the ambulance ride from St. Francis Bartlett to LeBonheur, which was not fun and very bumpy! When we finally got released from the ER, we were so happy to go home! They did not have any rooms so we were never admitted and just stuck in this tiny cubicle. It was the scariest thing I have had to deal with as a parent so far. The IV, breathing treatments, etc may have hurt me more than him! We went home with some meds and breathing treatments, but other than that, he is back to normal!

We finally got to begin our break after that incident and the rest of the break was great. We just hung out as a family and got to spend some great time together. We celebrated Jason's birthday on Christmas Eve and had lots of fun with that. We try to make his birthday special and not just part of Christmas. We went to my mom's Christmas day after spending Christmas Eve with J's family. Jason went to the woods immediately and was able to shoot a doe. He skipped over an 8 point buck to give my little 9 year old cousin a chance to kill it, isn't he a nice guy? We had a wonderful break at my mom's and with J's family. A lot of great memories were made. Of course it went by too quickly.

Here are a few of Chase's latest tricks!
Standing (balancing) on his toy. Not safe and another ER trip may come from this!
Sitting on a basketball Christmas Day
Opened the stove drawer and climbed right in!
This box was better than the presents!
