back at home

For those of you that don't already know our precious baby boy has had a hard past few days. We ended up being admitted to the hospital as Owen was having febrile seizures due to high fever. We were kept at the hospital for four days as they ran tests to try and figure out what had caused him to fever in the first place. Watching our son have seizures was the scariest thing I have ever been put through but watching countless nurses and doctors run tests and procedures on him was much worse. But as many close family and friends have shown me, what matters most is that Owen is now back at home heathy and happy. Yes this experience was traumatic and awful in basically every possible aspect but we are so lucky that it was nothing more serious than what it was. So as much as I could blog about every detail and explain to you all about the horrible events we went through over the last few days I have done that enough by speaking with friends, family and through my personal writing and I am at a point where I am finally starting to feel a bit more at peace with what happened to Owen. Also it was always my intension to keep this blog a positive place to show the beautiful snap shots if you will of Owen's life. So all in all just to update all of you that may not be aware as to how things are going. We finally got to speak with Owen's pediatrician once we were out of the hospital and he said the fever was most likely due to a virus called Roseola and that he didn't need any medications to treat it and to simply let the virus take its course. So we are now doing our best to keep our lil guy happy and well here at home, nursing a ton, lots of hugs a kisses of course and some simple natural home remedies to keep him comforted and to help him boost his immune system. And hopefully our little bug will be back playing at the beach again soon!
