Today we were home while Daddy worked and Will slept until 9 after being fed at 6:30.

I took the day off of work because I still didn't want him around other kids. He was in a good mood and he is definitely feeling much better! His naps are getting a little longer, and he is eating more of his bottles.

Nana came after she was done at Jeremiah and Nichole's and I was able to head to bed and get some sleep.

Since we've been putting Will to bed at an incline we sometimes find him in much different positions in the morning.

Will and I took Girl to the vet to check out some hair loss (which just turned out to be shedding) and then we spent a lot of time getting groceries. Will slept most of the time. We spent the rest of the day at home and Will was in a good mood.

He took lots of little naps, and when Daddy came home Will was very happy to see him. Will has also started finding his hands. He will see one move, lock onto it with his eyes, and then just freeze and stare at it until he gets too tired to hold his arm up anymore!

Will slept through the night until 7:30. It's a good thing, too. We were all exhausted! Will was up with Daddy until he went in for a later shift, and then I took over.

He took only part of a bottle and then napped for a couple of hours, and then didn't drink all of his next bottle either.

We loaded up into the car and ran some errands, and then headed back home to meet Sara and Kyle. They came to visit from Lafayette and go to taco night with us. We took Will to Annie and Jeremy's (Taco night is at a bar, so he can't go!) and then had a great dinner with Sara and Kyle and Caleb and Megan. We picked Will up when we were done and they said that he was very calm and just sat and watched Veggie Tales!

Sara and Kyle headed home shortly after we got back to the house, and then we all headed to bed.

2 hours after he went to bed Will was back up. Nana fed him and was supposed to wake me up if he didn't go back to sleep. She rocked him until 2 and then took him into the other bedroom and propped up his changing table pad on the bed next to her so that he could be at a slight incline but also within arms reach to replace a stray pacifier. He slept there until 7.

He was happier this morning, and we packed up and headed home to see Daddy. He slept most of the way home and only fussed a little bit. Daddy was up and I wasn't feeling well so I took a long nap while they stayed downstairs.

Will was so tired that he wouldn't even be able to stay awake through his bottles.

He was very happy in the evening,

and and we were all ready for bed.

Will got up at 12:30 and wanted a bottle and Nana took over. At 5 I woke up and found her in the recliner and took over so she could get some sleep. Will was wide awake but just wanted to be rocked. He took a whole bottle, but it all came up an hour later. He sat with Pa for a while in the morning before he had to head to church.

We stayed home because of how bad Will was feeling.

We stayed in all day and once again Will was feeling better in the evening and was happy and smiling, even when he was napping.

He even got a couple of tastes of Pa's ice cream, which he loved!

He fell asleep while Nana and I were watching tv and I put him in his car seat for the night at 10:30.

The doctor's office started appointments at 8:30, but I knew how fast they filled up so we got there at 8. We were the first there, with another patient right behind us. The waiting room filled up fast!

The check up went well and his oxygen was up even more from the day before. When we left there were kids lined out the door. We headed back to Muncie, and Will stayed with Nana for a little bit while I had lunch with the Hazelrigg's.

Will was feeling a little better, and was smiling a lot more than he had in the last few days. He stayed with Pa while Nana and I ran some errands. When we got back, Heather stopped by to drop off the best hat ever, and then I headed to bed while Will stayed up with Pa for a bit.

After Will's rough night, he stayed with Nana for a little bit while Lily napped and I ran an errand. Once I got back he napped in his car seat while Lily finished up her nap. At this point Will was coughing really bad, and he was still losing parts of his bottles. I called the doctor and they were able to get me in for a 4:30 appointment in Fishers. We were already taking Lily back so it wasn't really an extra trip, but now we were in a hurry and rushed to get both kids packed up and out the door. We got to the doctor's office right on time. Will was feeling pretty miserable, and Lily played with the decorations on the wall. The doctor checked Will's ears and right away said he had a double ear infections. They swabbed his mouth to test for RSV and swabbed his nose to test for pertussis (whooping cough). The test for RSV came back positive and we won't know about the pertussis until Monday. They also checked his oxygen and lungs, which we both good. The doctor told us that he is probably going to be coming out of the sickness soon, as RSV is usually worst on days 3-5. He got a prescription for azithromycin for his ears and said she would like for us to come back tomorrow during walk in hours to check on him again. We weren't thrilled to hear that, since we were an hour away, but we had to do what we had to do! We dropped Lily off at her house and by that time had decided that we would just stay in town for the night. Nana had not packed anything so we headed to Walgreen's to fill Will's prescription and pick up some toiletries. Once we were done there we picked up some Taco Bell and headed home. It wasn't until we were almost home that I realized we were in Nana's car and I didn't have my garage door opener! We went back to Jeremiah and Nichole's, but they couldn't find their spare keys. We then headed to Caleb and Megan's and stayed there for a little bit while we waited for Daddy to get home from work. Will was miserable - sniffing and coughing and puking and crying. We left just as Megan was pulling in. The doctor told us to get saline spray for Will's nose, and that seemed to help clear him up. Back at home I slept in Will's room so that Klif could get some sleep before work the next day.
