July

What a whirlwind July was!! The first week of July we made a trip to Utah to celebrate my birthday and the fourth. We left on my birthday and we were able to go to Lauren & Jackson's apartment for dinner. She had made us fajitas and a cake! They sang happy birthday to me and we had to leave, as Eli was tired and so were we! We stayed at Grandma and Grandpa Jensen's house. That next morning was the fourth and we were going to go see a parade with the Ridings, but before we left Eli started throwing up and was just not acting like his normal self. We decided we should stay home with him. The rest of the day he was SO miserable. He wouldn't eat, and mostly slept all day. We started to get a little worried as the night went on because he was just so out of it. We decided to try to take him to instant care. Well, since it was a holiday ALL of the locations were either just closing or were not open at all for the day, not to mention we were out of state so we needed to find something that would take Idaho Medicaid. We ended up having to drive about 35 minutes away to a primary children's ER! After waiting almost two hours to see the doctor, he misdiagnosed him with hand foot and mouth. Turns out he just had a stomach virus because the rash never developed and Justin and I both got what he had about a week later, (which is another story in itself)! So we went back to Grandma and Grandpas and went to sleep at 9:00, missing out on all the fourth of July festivities!
