Pneumonia, Shopping and Cars!

Jordan wasn't feeling very well starting Saturday night but didn't think anything of it. We woke up and went to church on Sunday and he felt fine all through church. Then slowly as the day went by he slowly started feeling achy and having chills and by the time we wet to bed he was burning up with a fever. The next day he was pretty much stuck in bed feeling horrible. We thought maybe he just had the flu or something. The next morning he woke up on Tuesday and he felt worse than he did the past three days. Which is weird for him because he is usually over anything by the second or third day. We decided it was time to take him in to the ER because he knew something wasn't right. Jess and I stayed with him for a little while then left since we knew it would take forever. About four hours in the ER it turned out he had pneumonia! No wonder he was in so much pain and kept running a fever. We got his antibiotics and rested in our room where he's been since Sunday. Jess and I decided to sleep in her room since monday night to avoid all the germs lurking around Jordan in our room. Last night was the first night we slept in our room together again after we washed all the sheets and disinfected the whole room. We felt like haven't seen daddy in days since we were trying to stay away from him and he pretty much slept the whole time. He's feeling a lot better today but has a horrible cough that sounds like he's going to cough up a lung.
Jess has been very helpful helping me clean around the house with her new Jessalyn sized broom. Well, she actually makes more of a mess than anything else. Cleaning with her around is almost worthless. As soon as I put something away se takes it out again. She especially loves emptying out all the toys in her bins onto the floor. Being the OCD person that I am, everything has to go back into the correct bin. Haha. I can't believe how destructive one tiny little human can be. She makes our house look like a tornado went through it by the end of the day.
Jess and I got out the house for a little while on Wednesday and went to a kids consignment sale. I've become quite the thrifty shopper ever since I've become a chiropractic students wife. I love thrift stores, garage sales and my new favorite are consignment sale that comes around about twice a year.!my first one was last year and I've been to about 3 or 4 since then. You kind of have to search through the racks and all the piles of clothes and shoes but the prices are so worth it and the sales mostly consist of more high end gently used kids clothes. I stocked up on some important winter clothes like a fancy winter coat, boots, new church shoes and jeans. I even found her Christmas dress for only three dollars! What a gonga. I plan a little early. Haha. And I got her Christmas presents already too. It was hard trying to hide them while I'm shopping with her. And of course I was the mom with the toddler throwing a tantrum while we waited in a huge line to pay. She was so over it and everybody was staring as she would throw herself on the floor. I'm sure everyone there has gone through or will experience it in the future considering they were all moms. Lol. Oh the joys of a toddler with an attitude.
Jess has been extra excited since she can finally snuggle with daddy today. She got to enjoy her new favorite movie 'Cars' with daddy. She's been obsessed with this movie ever since RoRo introduced her to her two weeks ago. She pretty much only has the attention span for the first few minutes but she laughs through the whole thing.
That's what's been going on in this Sheffer home lately.
