Wow what a week. Saturday night was really rough. I could not sleep at all. So, Sunday morning mom and dad decided to take me to the local emergency room to be checked out. All I can say about that is that I really hate I.V's. BUT the ride in the ambulance to El Paso was fun. I really like the red lights and sirens.
So, once we got down there they stuck me in the ICU unit for 3 days. Not much fun at all. For the first 24 hours I could not even get held or fed. It got a little bit better for the next couple of days but with all the wires and tubes they had attached to me it was really hard to get comfortable.
I guess the best part of it was being able to pull wires and hoses out and off just to see the nurses jump and run ;-)
They made me take a bath which made me mad but it did feel good to be clean again.
Mykela stayed with us on Sunday night. Kind of tight quarters but dad managed to find a spot on the floor to sleep on so I guess it was all good. But he was walking kind of funny again on Monday.
After 3 days in the ICU they moved me to another room. A little more freedom but still lots of hoses and wires to play with.
They let us come home really late on Wednesday night but I still have a long way to go to get well.
I have to stay home for at least the next 3 weeks and I can't have any visitors that are even slightly sick. I also have to do breathing treatments every few hours to help me get better. I also have a really bad cough that the Doctor says will be around for a week or two.
Today has been kind of fun. Mom had to go to town this morning and then again this afternoon. So this morning it was just dad and I and then this afternoon it was dad, Christopher and I around the house. Dad has been telling me all kinds of stories that I will have to work on typing up sometime.
For now I think it's time for a short nap and then maybe another bottle. I have more stories about the hospital that I will work on maybe tomorrow.

WOW, kind of hard to believe I'm already two weeks old. Besides still being sick I've been having a couple of pretty good days.
Yesterday Mama, Aunt Suzy, Aunt Sherry and cousin Meghan came for a visit. It's always great to have visitors. Meghan makes me laugh;-) Grandma Kathy also came by and visited for awhile. I really like having people to keep me occupied.
Then today cousin Brian and Tarin came and visited. I really think Brian needs a kiddo of his own to play with, he seemed to be having way too much fun playing with the boys.
Besides that it has just been hanging around the house with my very own "human pacifier" more commonly know as mom, and of course dad, and the boys.
I did manage to get mom again with a big enough load to make her change her clothes:-) And then even better I managed to get dad. So all in all it has been a good couple of days. But the best part of the weekend, so far, was this morning I got to take another bath. But, this one was great. Got to get in the big tub with mom. So much nicer then the little thing that sits on the drainboard and then I get sprayed with a hose. Sure hope I get to use the big tub more often. (hint, hint, mom and dad)
I sure hope I get to feeling better so I can get out and meet people and go places with mom and dad. That is always alot of fun.
But for now I guess I'll just hang out around the house and do the usual. Eat, sleep and fill diapers;-)

Ok, let's see if I can get caught up here. I've been a little bit sick so I missed posting yesterday.
Yesterday and today have been a little bit rough.
Had to go get a shot yesterday, not fun at all. And then to make matters worse they had to do a blood test. Poked my heel and then squeezed it until they got enough blood. Needless to say I was not a happy camper at all.
Both ladies that worked on me did comment on how strong I am though. I guess I kind of put up a fight.
Then I started coughing and got sick. Had a hard time breathing so mom and dad tried using what they called a "snot sucker" on me. Didn't work very well. Dad says he use to use the shop vac. on Mykela and it worked great. Only sucked some of her brains out.
Didn't get much sleep last night which also means mom and dad didn't get much either.
I'm feeling a bit better this evening. I think that maybe puking on mom earlier helped. I may have to keep that remedy in mind;-)
Sure hope that I get some sleep tonight. Looks like it may be a big day tomorrow as long as I keep feeling better. I'm hoping that Mama, Aunt Suzy, and cousin Meg might come and visit me.
Well I guess that is about it. Really not much to report when you don't feel good. Maybe tomorrow will be an exciting day and I will have alot to report tomorrow evening.

Got an early start on the day. Sitting in the living room visiting with dad at 4:30 a.m is fun. I think this is the longest I have been awake yet. It's been a full hour and I'm still awake and smiling. It may have something to do with the hicups but dad says it's the stimulating conversation;-)
Got a full day ahead. Get to go to town with mom and do alot of running around. Have to visit the doctor and dad says they have to take a blood sample. Not sure what that is but he says I'm not going to like it;-(
Guess I'll get a little nap in before my next meal and diaper change, more later.
Yup, dad was right. What a fun day. Did lots of running around with mom.
Then we met with dad and went to the Doctor.
It wasn't too bad I guess. She poked me alot and looked me all over before she said I was pretty much perfect (like mom and dad needed her to tell them that)
It was nice of her to say that but I paid her back for all the poking by puking on her ;-)
Didn't have the time to get the blood test so I have to get that done tomorow.
I did gain a half pound and I'm an inch taller then I was when I was born.
But for now it's time to settle in for the evening and enjoy some family time.

Wow, kind of hard to believe that I'm already 9 days old. Had a great day yesterday. Got to go to church with mom, dad, and the guys. Met grandma there. Lot's of folks wanting to hold and touch me. I did manage to get a nap in, for most of the service;-)
Then yesterday afternoon I got to go for a ride in dads truck and listen to some good music. All dad listens to is what he calls "classic country" nice mellow stuff. We went down and picked up Mykela. Got to see a turkey and a skunk on the way down the hill and then another turkey on the way back up. Again, I slept through most of it.
I did let dad change a diaper today without me throwing a screaming fit. Trying to lure him into a false sense of security.
Last night was fun. I was having a hard time getting to sleep and mom was tired so dad and I camped out in the living room until 2:30
I slept pretty good, not sure about dad sleeping on the floor. He is walking kind of funny this morning.
Well, I guess it's off to see what today has to offer. Besides sleep, eat and fill diapers that is;-)
