Eli's Hospital Stay

Eli's stayed in the hospital for two days and two nights, it was a roller coaster ride . . . they would give him meds and he would feel fine, fever down and everything . . . but then the fever would come back and he would get lethargic, like a rag doll. Thank you for all your prayer, Eli is now well and it is because you lifted him up . . . Thank you! It ended up being a severe tonsil infection, it took two days of intravenus antibiotics and 6 days of oral antibiotics. At one point his fever went up to 105 . . . scary stuff!! It is amazing we can rely on God and know that He is ALWAYS in control!



Sleeping the day away, I had never seen him like this . . . either he was sleeping or just laying there in bed . . . or wanting to be held.

Showing me his "spiderman hand" . . . he thought it was cool (until they would come to put the antibiotics in . . . he hated that and would scream the whole way through)

Eating a meal together . . . they gave me a complementary meal every time they brought one to Eli . . . and I gave it to Gabs =+).

Playing with the motorcycle that Gabby brought him as a get well present.

My pathetic little man =+(

Trying to stay awake . . . it's hard to do when you feel yucky!

Soothed by the thumb =+)

Gabby trying to cheer up Eli . . . she was in tears the night he went into the hospital, she was so sad for him that he had to get a needle.

This is the day that we went home, as you can see he is feeling himself again . . . all smiles!

Every time Andy would leave he would stand at the window and yell "Daddy come back to us!" =+)

Hanging out in the play area in the pediatrics ward at the hospital he was in . . . pretty cool!
Eli and a friend he made there . . . she had just given him that dinosaur book he is holding.

More playing while he was feeling good on the day we went home.

He kept calling this his guitar . . . it was folding chair in our hospital room.

We are glad to see our little man back to himself, thanks for all your prayers!!
