Cason and Cade in the Big D

Wendie and Cade came to Dallas for another summer visit. I wish we could have spent more time with them so I guess they will just have to come back again before summer is over :)

The first few pictures are of the boys playing at the house and the rest of the pictures are from our visit to the Children's Museum. Cason shirt is soaking wet in most of the pictures because he can't play with water without getting it all over himself :)

Unfortunately, Cason woke up on Thursday morning just not feeling himself. He didn't have a fever or anything but you could tell he wasn't 100%. He was a little congested but he has outdoor allergies so I just thought maybe they were acting up. We decided to go ahead and try the Children's Museum and he did fine for the first little bit and then you could tell he was getting tired and ready to go so we left a little early. We took the boys across the street to McDonalds to have a quick lunch before heading home to nap. He did not eat anything and he just wanted to lay his head on my shoulder------SO NOT MY CHILD. He could not get to sleep for his nap and was very fussy so I decided to call and make a doctor appointment just in case. I honestly figured that his ears were probably infected like usual but they were not. By the time we got to our doctor's appointment, he had started running a low fever and was wheezing. We were at the doctor's office for almost 2 hours and his feet barely ever touched the floor. He wanted to be held the entire time. The doctor and nurses were really surprised by this behavior because he is always all over the place even when he is sick. My poor little guy has pneumonia AGAIN! The doctor said it is very uncommon to get pneumonia during the summer but I guess Cason fits into the small percentage of people that can get it during the summer. It is just so amazing to me that it comes on so fast. He went from okay to not good at all in a matter of hours---which is just how it happened last time. The doctor said that is just how it works and that is why they have to start treatment asap and be monitored. Cason even got sick to his stomach several times Thursday night after we left the doctor's office. He got sick last time he had pneumonia too but we were at the hospital then and they cleaned it up---cleaning up throw up is at the top of my least favorite things to do list!!!

So poor little Cason is back on antibiotics, steroids, and breathing treatments. He is already starting to feel a little better--thank goodness. So sad that Wendie and Cade had to cut their trip short but so happy for the time that we did get to spend together.
