Well, this has been a pretty busy week! Brett and I decided to bring our nieces, Darby and Delaney, back home with us after Christmas! They are such a BIG help with Casen! He had full attention for 5 whole days. Needless to say, he has been looking for them since they left Thursday (I've also been looking for them! ha!) 
This past Monday, Brett, Casen, and I had to go to the doctor to get help in clearing this sickness up. Brett and I were put on antibiotics that we have to take 3 times a day for 10 days. We asked for a shot but the doc seemed to think that we needed to take the entire round of antibiotics. Casen's ears, chest, and throat were checked and everything looked good. Somehow, I didn't believe this was the case......after he was up all night Wednesday and woke up with 101.5 temp., we took him back to the doctor and they checked his blood. This showed that his white blood count was pretty elevated which proves that he has an infection. The doc. seemed to think it was sinus/head cold. This made perfectly good since to me since he still had so much mucus coming out of his nose and was pulling on his ears and rubbing his eyes. So, she put him on his third round of antibiotics since Thanksgiving. He has to take this one twice a day for 10 days. Unfortunately, he ended up with an upset stomach this morning and still has 8 more days to go. I will be sooooo happy when we finally get him feeling better! The last four weeks have been filled with cutting teeth, diarrhea, constipation, cold, ear infection in both ears, and the list continues to grow! I keep praying that he gets to feeling better soon. It is the worst things in the world to watch your little one be in such a miserable state!
Brett's mom and dad came down and stayed Thursday and Friday night with us! Brett and his dad have enjoyed college football for the past two days and Mrs. Frances, Casen and I enjoyed a day of shopping Friday! They volunteered to keep Casen last night while we went to see the movie Avatar. It was great being able to have a date with my husband, and the movie was really good too! Once we got back home, we walked in the door to a screaming baby. It seems that Casen now knows when his mommy and daddy are not there, because he cheered right up when we walked through the door. Can you say trouble!
Now I'm sitting here here trying to motivate myself to start putting Christmas decorations away! I will eventually get around to it! :)
