Frankie as Captain America for Halloween!

So, I know it's been a very long while since I have updated the site. Things have been a combination of calm and then a quick bout of "ugh" and now just sort of hanging on to "okay" right now.

Frankie has been doing VERY well at school. ACES is an amazing facility and has been an easy transition for our little, but not so little anymore, guy!

September went by without too much problem, and the same could be said for most of October. Toward the end of the month, Frankie had two ER visits within one week. The first visit was around 2am (ugh) on a Monday morning. He had a fever and some vomiting. After four hours in the ER, we were sent home. Frankie bounced back by the next day.

However, when he received his h1n1 vaccination (shot, not nasal) on Thursday, he may have had some sort of reaction ... or it could have been coincidental, but he was back in the ER on Friday. This time, it took him a while to get back to his normal self.

And, now, he's fighting yet another cold. His spirits and his activity are normal, but he's got a wicked cough and runny nose. He seems to manage the "common" stuff pretty well, but we're just on guard for the moment when common takes a U-turn.

So, as we all are deep in the h1n1 season, and Strep is upon us, we galantly move forward toward the seasonal flu season... Good luck and God bless us all!
