Our Christmas break started out being pretty eventful. Ethan go the flu Saturday the 18th. He seemed to be getting over the flu by Sunday night the 19th. However, the next day he suddenly started acting very very sick. He wouldn't get up to play at all. He just lay on the floor all day. I was very worried about him. We took him in the doctor around 9:30 that night when his fever peaked at 104. It turns out he had pneumonia. We were prescribed an antibiotic to help him get better. We were supposed to be driving to Utah that very night for a wedding but as with Ethan having pneumonia our plans were quickly changing. Then I started feeling sick as we left the doctors office and by the time we got home with Ethan I was throwing up too. It took me until Tuesday morning (the 22nd) to feel better. Jared got the flu around mid-day on the 21st. Bad timing. Needless to say, none of us made it to Utah for the wedding and we really wondered if we should cancel or plans to drive to Texas for Christmas too. By December 23rd Ethan was doing much better, Jared was over the flu and so was I. So we set out for Texas that very morning. It took us about 17 hours to get to Texas but we made it safe and sound.
