Another Hot One!

If you can't tell, both Ean and my cheeks are beet red. We came home from dinner and our AC had quit working, it was 89 degrees in the house when I took this picture. Our cheeks are always the first sign that we are hot.

We have been home all day because Ean woke up puking and couldn't go to daycare. A little girl from his daycare went home sick yesterday so he probably got what she had. He seems to be ok now and I got the AC working again by turning it off then back on per Jim's instructions 900 miles and 14 hours away.

We have had a hellish last 24 hours. Not only did it hit 108 today, I found out last night that a really good friend of mine whose son is 3 months younger than Ean lost her son. He would have been 13 months tomorrow. It is so devastating, this is their first child and she is a stay at home mom, we pretty much grew up together, went though pregnancy together and were going through new motherhood together.

Apparently he was sick last week, throwing up and they took him to the doctor and he had some kind of bowel obstruction, he was taken to the childrens hospital immediately and underwent three barium enimas and was getting better then Sunday his blood pressure plumeted and when they opened him up to see what was wrong they found that an ulcer had eaten through his stomach lining. He died yesterday morning. I haven't talked to my friend her name is Melissa but her husband told me all of this and said this condition is rare and that when it does happen it rarely causes the baby any problems, and almost never death.

I feel so bad for her and cannot even begin to imagine the devastation she is going through. All those plans, dreams, hopes gone, then the memories left behind, the toys, clothes, even the car seat in the car. I hope she will be able to get through this, and go on with life and their plans to have more children. They are very faithful people so I hope that will help them in their grief.

I hate to even post this because it is SO devastating but I think they really need the prayers right now.

Anyway, needless to say Ean and I are hanging pretty close together, I have been checking on him multiple times when he is napping and at night (I was up a lot last night) and just making sure he is ok, especially with him being sick today.

Pray for my friends and I hope this post wasn't too much of a downer, especially for my Georgian girls with little ones and soon to be little ones. Some times no matter how devastating we all need a reminder about how precious life is and to never forget it or take it for granted.
