Rough week

Well it's now a lovely 2:05 a.m. and we are just getting settled into our suite for the night. At the hospital. Ehh. Remember how I said we were trying really hard to make sure Colt didn't get sick? Well, he got sick. He's had just what we thought was a cold and/or allergies for about a week. But Friday night about 3a.m. he woke up with a 103.7 fever. We decided to take him in on Saturday morning to get checked out and everything seemed ok, probably just a virus of some sort. But after alternating Tylenol and ibuprofen all day, his fever spiked around 8 at 104.3. So we called the doctor on call as instructed when we left earlier in the day. He wanted us to come to the ER to get checked for flu or pneumonia. And here we are with pneumonia. They wanted to keep him overnight mainly for observation due to his medical background. So far he's doing well and surprisingly his oxygen levels are good. We are hoping to go home tomorrow. We had a big weekend planned including family pictures, my step mom's birthday and uncle's house warming/engagement party. Unfortunately we had to cancel the pictures and of course not celebrate the others. Obviously Colt's health takes precedence. This sickness also means his surgery will more than likely also be delayed. It's frustrating but there's nothing we can do about it. Oh, did I mention I broke my foot on Monday?? Thankfully I have a great husband who has really helped out a ton with daycare duties and doing things around the house. Everything that involves standing really. Life has a funny way of reminding you sometimes that you are not in control! We could use a few extra prayers for the coming weeks. Hoping this one is better than the last!
