When we got to the vet, they said Acey had doggy dementia and that it would be temporary, most likely in a week. We have seen some improvement. She can now walk to go outside with some encouragement and tonight she ate about a half a can of dog food. She hasn't wanted to eat very much at all. We're still hopeful for a decent recovery.
To add to our Saturday, Caden got a fever. Rewind to a few days earlier and I had a sore throat and felt terrible. Benjamin had a fever too so we came home from work early. Dustin came down with it the next day. We were hoping Caden wouldn't get it but no such luck. He had it. Sunday he was miserable and his breathing sounded bad so we went to the urgent care. He was tested and came back positive for influenza A. He got on tamiflu and a nebulizer right away and is still using it now. He couldn't go to work with me so my mom came over to watch him on Monday and Tuesday. By Tuesday he was a lot better. He still sounds gross but he is better at the same time. Britton was the only one that didn't get it. I don't know how he missed out, but thankfully he did. Unfortunately, my mom caught it and is on her road to recovery now. It's vicious stuff!
Out of all of this I must say we have a wonderful pediatrician. The urgent care had let our pediatrician know about Caden and she called our house to see how he was doing and to make sure we watched our other boys because she knew Britton had asthma, and to let us know to keep on the breathing treatment with Caden because it can be dangerous. I was happy for the follow up.

I forgot about Caden's first hair cut! He was so good
This isn't the best picture of his new hair cut but it's what we have for now. He looks like such a little boy!
That's about it for now. We'll be thankful for a healthier December...
