On the Mend

We were supposed to take E on his first out of state trip this weekend -- back to Daddy's hometown of Huntington, WV to spend some time with Velliamma and Velliappa. Unfortunately, our plans changed unexpectedly when Little E got sick. On Thursday night, he was up several times during the course of the night. Mommy and Daddy each took turns soothing the little man, but nothing seemed to help. Little E was crying constantly and would not allow us to put him down.

We knew something was wrong because E is a happy little soul. It was really sad to seem him so upset. On Friday morning, Mommy and E made a trip to see Dr. V. By this point, E had a fever and clung tightly to Mommy. After enduring several tough tests, the poor little guy was diagnosed with a bacterial infection. He was given some medicine and we headed home. He napped for a few hours, and when he finally awoke, Mommy got to see his smile!!

We're happy to report that E is on the mend. He spent the evening and all day Saturday hanging with Mommy and Daddy and laughing hard!! Daddy even finished putting together a new toy for E -- and not to sound Hallmark-cheesy, but watching my boys together is one of those amazing snapshots that I'll be keeping with me forever.

Three cheers for E ...

E on the road to recovery ... getting some R&R ...

E enjoying his new toy and bouncing to some music.
E showing Daddy where the magic happens.
E got the hang of his new 'sketch board' and spelled out his name! (OK, so Mommy helped a little)
