An Eventful Weekend to say the least

Well I am back on the blog! Brandon will be making guest appearances from time to time!!

This past Friday we had a really scary day. Hudson woke up with his eye gooey, and swollen. So like any new parents, we called the pediatrician and got the first appointment to get him checked out. Also being naive, we thought the doctor would give us some eye drops and send us on our way. Well, that was not the case. Friday afternoon we were admitted to St. Luke's Pediatric ER to have some tests run to find out what kind of infection was causing Hudson's eye to swell. After countless of tests and procedures run on him, we were told we would have to spend the night until all the cultures came back. So, Brandon, Luke, Hudson, and I were back in the hospital... just a different one. Brandon and I were truly tested as parents. I can't even begin to explain how much you hurt when you see your child hurting.

To make this long story short. All test results came back negative, and the infection did not spread to other parts of his body. They don't know and probably will never know what he had or how he got it. We were finally sent home on Monday with two kinds of eye drops! Hudson is so strong and he is doing great. Looks completely 100% better. Luke never got the eye infection and was happy to be able to sleep with his little brother again last night.

I want to apologize for not telling our friends and even some of our family. I am sorry if you heard it from someone else and not us. We didn't want to alarm everyone without knowing what was going on. Brandon and I know how much everyone loves us and our little boys and we wanted to keep this nightmare to ourselves until we knew more information.

On a totally random note; Erin Golan from Erin Golan Photography came out to the house today. The boys were so well behaved!! Well, minus the part where they had projectile poop on the props!! I can't wait to share these pictures with everyone!!!

Things are going really great! I'll post pictures when I have more time!
