Most of you know that Jacob got really sick in early September with a virus that caused all sorts of problems for him. He ran a fever for 5 days even on an antibiotic, then had coughing fits that we could not control. He ended up in the ER because he just could not stop coughing one evening for 45 minutes straight. He couldn't talk or catch his breath at all the whole time. It was pretty frightening. They took great care of him at the hospital and within no time he was back to happy, silly Jacob - flirting with all of the nurses. Jeff and I missed a lot of work during the illness, and I had just started my new job - so we were quite stressed. Well, a couple of days later, Jacob broke out into a bizarre rash that would come and go and move to different places on his body (I'll spare you the photos) - unable to send him to school, and unable to miss any more work, we called for reinforcements! Jeff's mom was able to come and stay with us for a week so that Jacob could recover at home and not get exposed to any more viruses while his immune system was so weak. It worked out that she was able to be here for Jeff's birthday as well as Hurricane IKE! She was stranded here for a couple of extra days, so she decided to paint the kids' rooms!!! Thank you Mimi for all of your help!
Here are my 6 month photos of Baby Addison. She is growing right on track - and seems to be VERY active and healthy. Keep us in your prayers for the next few months!
