hand foot mouth + doug



check it out. we have had a fun and wacky week/weekend.

we got back from edmonton on monday, having a great time, and floated through till thursday night, where poor eli came down with a sudden and very hot fever. thats odd. maybe it is a reaction to his immunization he had on the 2nd..... anyho, we fought that till early morning saturday when it finally broke, fwhew, seems to be fine, oh, a rash on the back of his legs, hmmmm... and his glands seem to be swollen...
in the meantime, our bestest friend doug flew in from vancouver, where he was shooting commercials (very witty i might add).
we had lots of fun with doug, more cj than me, i spent most of the weekend with eli just laying around, taking it easy.
saturday rolled around and cj and doug took eli to the childrens hospital to get checked out, he seemed to be more swollen in the mouth and neck, he was really sad, just plain sick. they called me (at the foothills hospital), i was there with mom all night due to the pain in my leg (thank you mom), and told me eli had hand, foot and mouth disease... WHAT?!?! where the heck did he get that????
hmmm.... lets think.... oh, ya, the waterpark at west edmonton mall. NASTY.

poor dude. of course HE got that rotten virus.

today is monday. cj took doug to the airport, eli is getting better, my leg still hurts, but hopefully will settle with the dose change with the IVF meds.
the clinic called today and told me my embryo transfer time, 12:30 on tuesday, the 15th, ya, tomorrow, holy crap, it is here.

we had a great time with doug, so glad he came, we have experienced hand, foot and mouth disease, hopefully eli will never get that again, and hopefully i won't have to go through this hormone process again anytime soon... yuck. i am not complaining, just not enjoying the process, ha ha.

the fellows came today to start work on our deck in the back. it will be great. we had all this gravel to move to the back tonight and dad, aaron and jeff helped cj move it, thank you SO MUCH. it is very appreciated.

this entry feels kind of choppy, but it is a choppy day.

Hey Jess, all of my kids have had hand foot and mouth at one point in their little lives. Logan just had it a month ago. It's so nasty to think about how they can get it...yuck!! When Annie got it she was 9 months old and her entire throat, tongue and mouth were giant blisters! Poor thing!! I hope Eli gets better soon. It is really no fun at all!! I hope all goes well tomorrow. Your in my prayers!!

good luck today. we're praying that all goes well. love ya
poor eli... hope he's doing better. i can kinda relate - austin had something called slap face when he was about 9 months and it's brutal. i just feel so bad for kids when they get sick.
