Wrap up

So, we have been busy doing pretty much nothing.  Connor has been sick.  We got back from Baltimore on August 9th and after an uneventful (thank you) morning flight we were having a normal day.  Connor woke up from his nap and made a funny face and projectile vomit - everywhere.  He has NEVER done this (well maybe the week before).  It scared the crap out of me!  It continued until dinner and then I spent the next 2 days waiting for it to happen again.  I covered every upholstered crevice in the house with a towel.  Of course, it didn't happen again.  Then, I got the virus, then my mom, my dad, colin, etc.  But by his birthday he was truly all better or I would have cancelled the party.  He had been puke free since Monday so we had his party.  As you saw in the photos - he loved it!  Monday morning after the party he had his 2 year well visit.  No problems.  No shots.  Nothing.  Tuesday morning Connor woke up and looked like a bug bit him in bed - once on his head and once behind each ear.  By Wednesday those "bites" were looking better but he had new ones on his legs.  Hmmmm.  My mom diagnosed him with Chicken Pox.  Colin's mom confirmed through photos as did Caitlin's dad (The Doctor's office wouldn't see us).  Umm, can I have my copay back for the vaccine?  It truly was a mild case that Connor didn't even notice.  Not ONE time did he itch!  Amazing considering the horrific case that I had when I was little.  So, I guess the vaccine did help . . . sort of still want my co-pay back though. 

So, we have been out of commission socially speaking for 10+ days.  Today happens to be my birthday and my mom offered to come play with Connor while we went out to dinner.  We had a very fun day today and a delicious dinner tonight.  The location has valet parking - mainly because the parking lot is very small.  After dinner, we were waiting for the valet to "pull up our car" (I put this in quotes because our car was literally parked right next to us - probably could have just given us our keys).  While we were waiting for the valet to move our car 2 feet, we noticed a Coors Light can on the valet stand.  Odd?  Dangerous?  Hilarious? Had to share it on the blog.  Pictures soon.  Good night.

Maybe the driver took a can from someone??? (here is hoping!) Anyway, Cait told me about Connor and the "pox" I am so sorry that he went through it, but so glad that it was mild.

I don't know if this will make you feel better but I do remember them saying that the chicken pox vaccine doesn't eliminate the disease in most cases, just makes it very mild. So it seems like it did work for Connor :)
