Today was completely not what we would have expected. The snow came down heavily and steadily all day and made road travel treacherous. Even though my original flight took off just a few minutes late, there were big delays at the airport on most flights and I am glad we did not try to drive there today.
The biggest reason is that Trevor woke up this morning just cooking with a high fever. We made some phone calls and ended up taking him in to see Kayla and Ashley’s pediatrician. I was scared that if he had an ear infection, he would be in severe pain trying to fly home.
The doctor said his ears and throat looked perfect, no antibiotics needed. He probably has the same virus that I have been fighting all week. I am just nervous now because I don’t want Brendan to catch it, but there is no possible way to effectively quarantine Trevor, especially where we are short nurses.
After a miserable morning, Trevor took a nap and woke up in a much better mood. We are keeping up the ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Tonight he is still running a 101.5 temperature.
He was acting pretty “normal”, so we decided to attend Ashley’s piano recital so we would have a chance to say goodbye to everyone. Ashley looked beautiful and she did an excellent job! We were all very impressed!
Trevor did not want to sit and listen. He would say “I walk” and “Go go go”
He was jumping with Uncle Kevin
Family-sized tickle attack!
Last pictures with everyone since we leave tomorrow
Trevor and Mommy!
Trevor really liked playing piano! All this time, he did not even realize that Gramma had a piano.
Brendan and Daddy stayed busy today, they didn’t take too many pictures.
I am nervous about how Trevor will be feeling tomorrow and I hope we can go safely home. I hope the weather cooperates.
Poor Trevor! It would have been a perfect day for playing in a lot of snow instead of going to the doctor with a fever. I will be worried about him until they are safe and sound at home. We will leave for the airport at 10:00am tomorrow and it will be a long day for Mommy and Trevor. We are going to miss them!
Ashley was amazing at her piano recital! I am so proud of her and her accomplishment. She is quite a musician!
Gizmo is really going to miss Trevor, too, they have become very good friends! He will be looking for him all over tomorrow.
This has been a very quick visit, with lots of unexpected twists, but we have loved having Tiffanie and Trevor here, and can’t wait until the whole family is able to come here together.
Thank you, Tifffanie for all of the hard work and hours you put into the embroidery on my sweaters and the HUGE Christmas stocking you made…and stuffed!! Thanks to all of the other Santa’s helpers who contributed to the “stuffing”. It was the biggest and funnniest stocking I have ever seen hanging on a mantle…especially mine!
Lots of love and hugs and hopes for a safe and not-too-difficult trip home,
Gramma xxxxxx
P.S. Brendan looks adorable today, too! Gramma loves you, Brendan!!
Good morning from the East Coast!! Hoping that the weather cooperates today!! Safe journey and quick recovery for Trevor!! 🙁 Ashley looked so poised and beautiful during her recital! Just loved all the pictures!! Prayers, hugs and love!! 🙂
