Lazy Saturday

Last night Rod & I got everything ready for the temple and the drive & then we prayed that we would receive a definitive answer as to whether or not to make the trip to Nashville. Our answer came at 12:03am. Tre was blazing hot & sick as could be. He snuggled in bed with us till 3am when he woke again...still with a fever. at 4am Britt woke for a quick fuss, so I figured It was time to check on Tre to make a final decision about the trip. I put my hands on his forehead & sure enough he was still very warm. So I settled both boys back into sleep. I had set my alarm for 4:15am to get ready for the long day to Nashville. I woke up Rod & we pondered what we should do. As much as we wanted to go, we knew it would just be too unfair to Tre. So we snuggled back into bed. We all slept till 7am (a rare occasion in out home!!!) When Tre woke up he said he felt good, the fever was gone & so Rod & I began to question our decision. So much so that we dashed to get showers going & planned on how to get out of the house in 15 minuets. After a quick minuet & some easy math we figured we wouldn't even get their in time to get into the session with the ward which would leave us with no one to watch the kids. So again, disappointed, we settled into the idea of a lazy Saturday at home to care for Tre. All morning I questioned our decision...until about 10:30am when the fever hit again & miserable Tre was white all over. Things have not changed much since. Hes just feeling yucky & sick. So although we were really disappointed that we were not able to go to temple, we are so GRATEFUL that we did NOT go & put our little boy through such a long day! We would be in the car right now starting the 4+ hour trip back. Instead he is snuggled up with his mommy (who is typing. ha) and a blanket watching Christmas movies and trying to drink some liquids. Thankgoodness we stuck around the house after all!
