After 2 weeks of fever and various other cold symptoms, E is finally getting better. Just yesterday we were back at the doctor because, after 3 days on antibiotics for an ear infection, E was actually more feverish and sickly than before the ear infection was discovered. The doctor feels the poor little man just had one virus after another.
Today, E is quite back to his normal happy self and completely fever free. We actually left the house this morning for something besides a doctor's appointment for the first time in over a week. We went to Engineering Open House. I know, it doesn't exactly sound like a party but after 2 weeks of lying around the house with a sick kid ...
We all had a great time. The sun was shining. The air was warm. The birds were singing ("teet, teet, teet" yells little E). The pizza was good. Crushing concrete, build your own rockets, bubbles, model "choo-choos". Live music. First bus ride. Happy, happy baby. Happy, happy family.
Back at the ranch, things are not so rosy (no clue yet if my dissertation will be done in time, still more laundry, so many shingles in the yard when they ought to be on the roof) but one happy, healthy, singing, hugging, kissing, giggling little boy makes the whole world seems brighter.
