Very Short Road Trip

Friday we packed up the car with my parents (Honey and Papa) and headed to NC for a good friends wedding. Charles had a football game Saturday so it was just Jacob and I. After a nice 5-6 hr. Drive we stoped at a friends house In Hendersonville NC to spend the night before heading into Charlotte the next day for the wedding.

It was a great drive and we had a fun night hanging out (above is papa's version of a booster seat... Jacob was thrilled). Then at about 3:00am Jacob woke and had a very hard time going back to sleep. Finally at 5am I got him up and took his temp. 103.0...great. So I give him Tylenol and try to figure out what we are going to do with our day. Well, to make a long story short his temp continued to rise to a whopping 104.6, very scary. When we finally got the temp to drop a little we decided the trip was over and got in the car to head back to Nash. So sad. Sick baby, no wedding... The weekend was a total bust.

Here is Jacob sick on the way home. We kept him naked all the way home to keep his temp down. Thankfully his temp was almost normal by the time we got home. Then of course the next day he was acting fine. Kids! It was a disapointing weekend but we are very thankful Jacob got better so fast.

So sad! Poor Jacob! I am glad he got better quickly, but sad that the road trip was cut short! It just means that you will have to take a road trip down here to make up for it... :)
