Family Health

We made it through Matt's second headache since Parker was born.  For those who don't know, they are a very rare type of headache that usually lands us in the ER at least once, or in this case, twice.  It is so hard to watch him hurt like that.  Selfishly, it is also hard to manage "life" when he gets them.  In addition, we both got sick afterwards, so we are pretty exhausted and very much counting down to winter break!  I am very much thankful that Matt will be going to a headache clinic in January to hopefully get some preventative and abortive steps that don't require an ER visit!

Parker, as always, was a champ when we basically required him to sit with me or in his stroller at the ER.  I spent a lot of time wondering if this would be the last time he would really be cooperative in that situation-- he is getting more and more mobile by the day, and more and more determined to get where he wants when he wants :)  This obviously makes us SO happy, but is also tough when you are in a germ-laden hospital and can't allow your 1 year old to crawl all over the floor!

Here's to hoping we go without any more illness for the remainder of the winter!
