Ethan is sick.


We returned from Indy on Sunday. Later that night, Ethan's temperature rose. With the hydronefrosis, anytime Ethan's temperature gets over a certain level, we have to go to the hospital.

After a couple of days in the hospital, we have been told that he does have pneumonia in both lungs. But the good thing is that Nicole was able to catch it early and the doctors have praised her for that. Currently, the doctors are still running tests on him to determine if it is viral infection or a bacteria. They are thinking that is a viral infection. If it is viral, then he will becoming home on Wednesday with oral antibiotics. If it is a bacteria, then he will be in the hospital for 7 days. So we are hoping that is viral.

We appreciate the thoughts and prayers. Keep them up.

On a lighter note, Ethan was weighed at the hospital and his is now 14 lbs. That is 5 lbs in less than 2 months. He has also gained 2 inches in height. I think we may have an offensive lineman in the family when he grows up. Hopefully for MSU!!!! Just had to add that. Angelina and Brianna are doing well. They are not sick. They really enjoyed swimming in Indiana. They kept getting out of the pool and jumping into Nicole's and my arms. Brianna was interesting because she did not take a nap all day Saturday and was fun to deal with. When she did go to sleep, she slept from 9:30 PM until 9:30 AM and was completely a different person the next day.
