Finally Getting Better

Caleb is finally "over the hump" as far as his illness goes. It took a couple of injections of some pretty aggressive antibiotics, which he was not too thrilled about. He no longer has a fever and no more vomiting for quite a few days. He still has a cough, but a productive one. His main problem right now is pretty bad diarrhea from all the antibiotics. We're all breathing quite a bit easier around here, though.

Although he's feeling a lot better, we're keeping him home from school for the rest of the week (1 more day at this point) - I just can't rationalize exposing him to that many snot-nosed kiddos yet. Part of me wants to just keep him in a bubble for the rest of his life, but I know that's not very rational.

Thank you everyone for all your prayers and good thoughts. He definitely needed it this time around. Now that he is on the mend I can focus on my healing again, and can start focusing on Caleb's Crew!

Now that you're not having to nurse a sick kid back to health, you have time for a tag...

You're it!
