365: Day 10- Pneumonia

1/10/14: Silas spiked a fever on Thursday night before bed, and he was a complete wreck on Friday morning.


I dropped Zoe off at school and got Silas an appointment to see Dr. R.


His ears and throat were clear but he had a lot of creaks and pops in his lungs. Dr. R. diagnosed him with pneumonia, prescribed albuterol and an antibiotic, and sent us over to Children's Hospital to get an x-ray.


Silas really wanted to see a picture of his lungs, and the tech was nice enough to show him one when we were done. We headed to the cafeteria for an ice cream sandwich while we waited to hear back from Dr. R.


The x-ray confirmed pneumonia in the middle lobe of his right lung. His orders are to take it easy, take the meds, see Dr. R. again next week, and have a repeat x-ray in 3 weeks to confirm that everything has cleared up. It was a very long day for both of us and he was in rough shape when we got home. Thankfully we were able to get a scary high fever down with a lukewarm bath.


In other news, she caught one!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!

The Blog Book is Here!!!

My friend, Tom, told me about a website where you can order a bound copy of your blog. I've had it on my radar for awhile, but I finally just got around to making a book of the first year of entries. It starts with 'Icing on the Cake' , the last entry before they were born, and it ends with Halloween . It turned out better than I could have imagined! I cried when I opened it... One hundred ninety-four pages of love, photos, stories, and milestones!
