Well Thanksgiving sure didn't happen according to plan his year. Scott and I were hosting our big Thanksgiving dinner this year, but our plans were foiled by a terrible viral infection! Mason woke up the Friday before around 4am getting sick in bed. The next day he spiked a temperature and the poor little guy had no appetite or energy. His temp peaked to over 104 at times! It was terribly scary and stressful as not only were we worried about Mason but his 2 month old sister too! I made an appointment for him Monday at the doctor and he was diagnosed with a "nasty" right ear infection with a possible virus on top of it. We thought getting him started on Monday with an antibiotic he would be okay on Thursday, but when he was still running a very high temp on Wednesday we went ahead and called off Thanksgiving. I had family coming in from Ohio and Michigan we haven't seen in a year, none who had met Marlee yet. It was a very sad decision, especially for my mom whose family it was. We ended up having Phyllis and Steve and My mom and dad over, and way too much food! I have to say I know I have a lot to be Thankful for, but Thanksgiving day seemed more like a Thursday to me. Mason was so sick and hadn't eaten in so long. I nearly took him to the ER that evening when he woke up from his nap burning up and had no energy. Luckily Friday morning he slept all night and had a lower temperature of around 101. That evening he ate a little and by Saturday was on the upswing. What an awful week!!! We all survived, and so far Scott and I stayed healthy and most importantly so did little Marlee!! Here are a few pics from our Thanksgiving Holiday!
Wild Medicine Hair: Mason hates taking medicine, so after the fight of getting it in, what comes out gets wiped from his mouth into his hair!! Notice how pale!
This has never happened, him falling asleep on the couch before bedtime, poor bubby!
Thanksgiving dinner, he had part of a strawberry...poor baby; I'm so glad he's feeling better!
And here she is, Miss Marlee all dressed up for the Holiday. I am so Thankful for this little blessing!
This Thanksgiving there is so much to be Thankful for around the Moorehead Household. Scott has been promoted to CEO of Moorehead Communications, a very deserving Promotion!! The company has also started a new business, "Tan Lines", a chain of Tanning Beds with the first one in Marion that just opened with the second in Gas City days away. More to open around the state early next year.
Of Course, our new little bundle of Joy, Marlee (aka...Baby Girl, Peanut) has joined our family!! We just love her to pieces and are amazed with how fast the time has flown by!
And Mason, growing into such a good little boy. We are so lucky to have such an overall healthy boy, so smart and entertaining and so darn sweet. There is nothing better than having him say out of the blue that he loves you!!
We are also very Thankful to be settled into our new home in Marion. It has been a little bit of an adjustment but overall we know it was the right move for our family. It is so wonderful to have both of our parents close by, they are wonderful helpers for us and Mason is so close to his Mimi and Poppy and Nona and Papaw!
We hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and are enjoying this winter!
