Owen has been running some really high fevers over the past month. We are always able to get them to subside by giving him Motrin and/or Tylenol, but we also always take him to the doctor to get checked out. Most of the time, we are just sent home with no answers and no source for the fever. On Father's day, Owen spiked another high fever (104F) and it continued to spike overnight. Mommy went out of town on her first business trip with her new job and left Daddy with Owen. Daddy decided to take Owen to the doctor in the morning and requested some answers for all the high fevers. The doctor's response was to put Owen in the hospital to run some tests and monitor him. It was a tough week for all (with Mommy thousands of miles away and Daddy trying to eat, sleep, work, do school work...but most of all take the best care of Owen. Fortunately, Gram and Pappy were more than willing and able to come to Alabama on short notice to help out. Mommy, Daddy, Owen and even Nash were extremely grateful.
Here are some pictures of Owen in the hospital (sorry about the quality...they were taken with the camera in Daddy's phone). They are not really memories that we want to keep...but it is an important part of Owen's first year! Plus...it just shows you how darn cute Owen is....even when he is sick.
This was taken on the first day in the hospital. His pale complexion was sad to see, but his good colors returned mid-week when the fever subsided.

Once Owen started to want to eat remotes again....we knew he was starting to feel better
Poor little guy. It's so sad to see him hooked up to an IV :( Glad he's feeling better.
