Rough weekend

On Friday, we took Landen to the Urgent Care Center and found out he has pneumonia. They gave him a shot and sent us home with some prescriptions. Friday night was rough and Saturday was not much better. We couldn't keep his temperature down and he was in pain so we took him to the ER. They took more xrays and gave him another shot. Because he hasn't had anything much to eat since last Monday they tried to give him an IV. After four attempts at sticking him with an IV they gave up. A combination of his chubby arms and legs, small veins due to lack of fluids and not wanting to lay still made it too difficult to find a vein. It was so hard for Bryce and I too watch. We feel so helpless as we sit and wait for him to improve. Today was very hard...he had a bad stretch this afternoon where he was in a lot of pain. We hope and pray this week is better. Presley is feeling good and doing well...thank gosh!!!

Oh my gosh - poor baby!! I hope the medicine starts working soon. And I hope you guys get some rest - it can be so hard when they aren't feeling good. (and yes, I'm writing this at 3:41 am because Alex has decided to not sleep!!)
