Salmonella

-
We have a diagnosis. The doctor called at 7:30 this morning and told us the culture that they took at the hospital had come back positive for salmonella. We don't know how he got it. I don't let him have very many processed foods and I was aware of the peanut thing so I don't think it's related to the peanut recall.
I'm feeling extremely guilty that I let this happen to my baby. I'm in charge of his food and I let it happen. He's still having diarrhea. He had it all day yesterday, but was only up for an hour last night with it. It's ongoing this morning though. I know his stomach is hurting him.
The good news is that he's drinking water again and eating a little bit.
So that's the update. I've got to go change the baby.

Amber, don't beat yourself up over it; it's just one of those things. You've suffered enough worrying about him; just stay positive and keep our Sammy on the road to recovery. :^)

Yeah!! What Rob said! You can't possibly be held responsible for every microbe the kids eat. Let's face it, it's always possible he licked the cat box or fell in a cow pie. ;-)

Winter Park Weekends

  For two weekends in a row, we have rented our favorite condo from our friends and spent the weekends in Winter Park. It is SO fun! Davis has a trestle downhill pass and we meet our friends the Rileys and the Perrys (our mountain bike family) and the kids ride all day, I hike around in the mountains and we have communal dinner either at the rigs or at the condo. The first weekend we met everyone up there after the Heritage back to school dance which turned out to be a germ factory. I drove up Aidan and Sam after school on Friday. We unpacked and then had a lovely dinner at Lime before coming back to the condo where the boys watched John Wick and I took a long bath. Michael, Davis and Garrett came up late after the dance and we all fell asleep. That Saturday was lovely, but quite cold. Sam and G tried downhilling with the others and really enjoyed it. Michael and I got an activity pass and did the alpine slide a lot of times. We read in our adirondack chairs by the lift and ate lunch a

 In between Winter Park weekends, Michael celebrated his 50th birthday and Rosie celebrated her 1st. Michael chose to have a quiet birthday after the big polo celebration and stay in. I decorated a little, we ordered in Thai food, watched the new marvel show, What if?, and had delicious ice cream from Heaven. Rosie had a cookie and lots of pets.

Polo Weekend for Michael's Birthday

Friday Photos: Saturday Photos: Sunday Photos:  This year we got two tables at DA2030's charity polo weekend. We invited all our favorite people to help Michael celebrate his 50th birthday. Mom and Paul and Tiffany and Keith and Cheris and Rob and Steven and his girlfriend Amber all flew in just for the weekend!  Our local friends joined in too and we had a party! Mom and Paul got us a limo as Michael's birthday present for Friday's fancy night at Wings over the Rockies.  Cheris and I got our hair and nails done. Christin and Suzy went to get their makeup done. I had four dress options for Friday night and due to a lot of factors, ended up wearing a completely different one at the last minute. I was stressed as it really wasn't dressy enough, but I looked okay in it and it was comfortable so that was all good. The weather was warm, but not too smoky from all the fires so that was okay. Michael has quit drinking and was worried about how much fun polo would be without bo
