Crazy Misadventures of J-Man!

We had a rough few days this past week.
Jackson had a run of the rotavirus that really took a lot out of him. Literally. It was coming out both ends and we couldn't keep anything in him. After a visit to the doctor and a loss of 10% of his body weight, we headed to the hospital in the Pen for a rehydrating IV. We were admitted overnight and kept in isolation until the bug had run most of it's course. I must say that Jackson was such a great trouper and so resilient. He took to being in the hospital with a tube stuck in his arm so much better than Mommy did. By mid morning we got the okay to head back home and we were on the road to recovery. So glad that we have such great healthcare in our country. We are very grateful for the care we received for a simple virus that kills so man
y in the world. We are very blessed to have our little guy back to his usual healthy, happy, joke cracking, dancing around the kitchen self.
