Cavin has still been battling whatever sickness he has. Thursday night he spiked a low grade fever that turned into a higher fever on Friday. Knowing he had an infection and a fever was a natural part of fighting infection, I decided to just give him tylenol and wait it out a few days.
His fever would break with the tylenol and then go right back up as it wore off. This continued Friday, and all day Saturday. Worried he might have an ear infection and being so close to flying, I decided to call Dr.Yuri and he came back to the apartment Saturday night. Dr. Yuri agreed that the fever was part of the process of fighting off an infection, but also knew our concern with flying. We both decided it would be best to get some antibiotics and get rid of the infection before flying. He walked down to the pharmacy and came back with an antibiotic that we began giving to Cavin Saturday night.
Cavin slept well last night but you can tell our poor little guy is sick. He has still had a fever, although it hasn't been as high as it was. Hopefully he is on the mend and will be better by Tuesday night before flying Wednesday morning.
Saturday morning we kept hearing this beeping sound and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I went to change Cavin's diaper and lo and behold, the thermometer was on, in the pantleg of his pj's! In case you're wondering, his foot temperature was 97.1! Lol.
We have taken his temperature often so Cavin has naturally learned what the thermometer is for. Several times he has grabbed the thermometer and tried to put it down his shirt to take his own temperature. The funny thing is most times he can't get it back out, so he just lets it fall down his shirt or pajama's and goes on about his business!
Rance is doing well. He absolutely loves baths. Last night was the first night since we got Rance that we haven't done baths for the boys. Dr. Yuri was here late and we just didn't get around to it. Rance was pretty sad about it, but we promised he could take a bath "tomorrow." He is currently playing away in the bath tub while I type this.
**First for Rance
-Putting his head completely under water! I guessed he just did this by the amount of coughing I just heard and Matt just confirmed it. Now to teach him to close his mouth...
We have been going through the slide show we made him a while ago to introduce him to his family at home. He has Grandma and Papa down and is working on the names of all of his aunts, uncles and cousins! He had a really hard time saying Christen, the first few times he said it, it came out more like "Christmas!" Now he's got all of the names down and they have been added into the other words he randomly says throughout the day.
Tomorrow morning at 8 Matt and Rance will head to the embassy for Rance's medical evaluation/exam. Then they will come by and pick up Cavin and I and we will head to our first appointment with the U.S. Embassy for Rance's visa.
Prayer Request!
-That we will receive Rance's visa Tuesday night!
-For Cavin to get quickly get better so we don't have to travel with a sick baby!
