We went to Bama and had a wonderful time with my parents; and a short visit from my brother-in-law was even included (he came down from Idaho to Bama for an interview for a graduate school. FYI, he got into Auburn!). Oh, Matt and I were able to stay the night at a hotel--ohlalala!
A major highlight from the Bama trip was Matt being able to get a NEW guitar. Freak out! It's an ESP, with active pick-ups, and 24 frets... Which is awesome, right?! ;) He says angles sang when he picked it up, for it's that amazing. (He found it on his third stop at a music store.)
Note: This is not the guitar he picked out. That's a whole post on its own.
PS: I always love going into Five Guys and seeing that the potatoes are from Idaho. Happens almost every time (in the handful of times we go there each year).
And on the way back to Savannah from Ba we stopped in ATL for a "quick trip to IKEA." Um, when is a trip to IKEA ever quick?!
We were also able to stop at a place for some fabulous New York style pizza joint called "Big Pie in the Sky." It has been featured on the Man vs Food show. Oh man. So good! Matt had been craving good New York style since Afghanistan. Pretty sure it filled that craving--and then some! So much good pizza.
Once we got home we were able to set up out IKEA finds: a new rug and an ottoman/footstool. They're both amazing! Love it, love it, love it.
And that night we realized that the boys probably shouldn't go to school the next day: coughing galore, runny noses, and hints of fevers. Well dang!
This whole last week Eli and Isaac only went to school once. Finally on Thursday they went and saw the doc (Isaac was up half the night on Wednesday with an ear ache). Isaacs ear was clogged, so he got drops.
But Eli was a bit more worrisome. I had a feeling his oxygen was low, especially with his total lack of energy he had the last few days. Well... His oxygen levels were around 90, sometimes 89 and one time peaking at 92. I mean, we've seen a lot lower from Eli but that was before his last surgery. This is probably the lowest recorded in 2 and a half years. Me and the doctors were a bit concerned, so she put him on anti-biotics for a "just in case," then doing a swab to see if he had RSV or the flu, and finally getting a chest X-ray at the army hospital to make sure the lungs were clear. All came back good! Just a cold! (However it is concerning to me that "just a cold" can really knock him out... Ya know?)
So just a lot of family time this week! I was able to take Eli by himself to Target. One on one time is rare, especially for Eli! And then when Matt would get home I would take Titus to the park to get some wiggles out (being home with two sick brothers made him crazy! Haha).
FINALLY! The boys got a somewhat well on Friday. After so much indoor-ness we needed some outside and run time. We had a great family fun time outside, playing tag under the street lamps. (Bikes and scooters make "tag" so much more interesting!).
