And A Happy New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve and New Year's Day at Grandma and Grandpa Cersey's house. We played a lot of Wii Playground and ate a lot of food. I am sure I gained a couple of pounds in the past month. Anyway, it has been fun spending the holidays with family.

Jackson had a fever on Sunday, and on Tuesday he broke out in little red spots all over his body. The picture of him below was taken today, and the spots have faded somewhat but you can still see them a little bit on his cheek. I called his pediatrician and the nurse said that it sounded like he has Roseola which is a highly contagious virus that affects children between the ages of 3 months and 3 years. It is not a serious illness and Jackson's didn't seem bothered by it much until yesterday (New Year's Day). Yesterday he was like the living dead. He laid around all day and threw up 4 times. He couldn't seem to keep anything in his stomach. He slept more than I've seen him sleep since he was a baby. It was so sad to see him so sick, but he seems to be doing much better today. He is coughing quite a bit now, but he hasn't thrown up yet and he is playing with toys and speaking coherently again, so I think he's on the mend. We hope your New Year holiday was better than Jackson's.
Happy New Year everyone!

Poor Jackson! Something about this time of year. JP had an ear infection and bronchitis for over a week. I hope Jackson feels better soon!
