What a Difference A Day Makes!

Boy am I thankful for the power of prayer and modern medicine! Alexander woke up this morning a new man! I was so worried about him all last night, but he slept well - only woke up at about 3 because of his congestion and coughing. After more medicine, he was right back out. This morning, he was all smiles, and back to his normal self. He did cry a little when Dad dropped him off at childcare, but was all smiles the rest of the day (we called to check in on him).

Here's a shot of him eating some supper:

Tonight Alex decided to go for Squiggles again, with the safety of the gate between them. She's just on the other side of the gate, sitting towards the right side. He crouches down so he can see her from under the bar in the middle - and has a HUGE grin once he turns around. Such a different boy from last night!!

Once again, thanks to all of you who sent e-mails and phone calls, and most importantly, said prayers. We are on the mend!! :)

- - A couple of you asked about whether we have decided to go forward with tubes or not - we are waiting for now, at least until this summer to decide about tubes. We have heard so many horror stories (as well as helpful stories) that we're following our Dr.'s advice and waiting until summer to see what he's like then. Our Dr. said that most kids will outgrow the infections around 20 months, so we'll wait and see - unless it gets really bad between now and then. Thanks!
