I know I mentioned in the last post that Brett would be going back in the hospital on November 21 to have an endoscopy, but he was gaining weight and looking so much healthier that the doctors didn't want to do anything to him unnecessarily. Therefore, we didn't go in after all, much to our relief. We've been back a couple times for a few problems with his port, but nothing major.
We were so grateful to be home for Thanksgiving this year. We had Rob's dad in town and my friend Meredith as well. I made turkey for the first time - usually I just buy one from Honeybaked Ham. It was actually very good, and the side dishes were good, too. We enjoyed the time spent with family and friends.
The day after Thanksgiving and Saturday we spent time with the cousins who came up from Atlanta to visit. We also got a Christmas tree and were able to decorate most of the house that weekend before Mark and Gantt both got sick with severe ear infections. Mark was almost crying, and complaining about his ear hurting (among other yucky symptoms). That's not like him at all, even when he's sick. I took him to the minute clinic at CVS since it was Sunday. The next day I took Gantt to the pediatrician to confirm the exact same illness. They feel better now, but they are both of course on antibiotics twice a day, so even more medicine to keep up with for us for a few weeks!
