Oh What a Night...

In an odd twist of role reversal, the Phillips family ended up in the emergency room last night. No, I was not in labor (I wish) but instead Bryan was fighting off a severe strain of strep throat and had a fever of almost 105! By the time Bryan asked me to take him to the ER (I knew he was really sick as this he a typical man, one who never sees the Dr) it was only 10p and I figured I'd just put Ethan in the car, drop Bryan off at the ER and then Bryan could call me when he was done. Well, by the time we drove to the ER, I realized just how truly sick Bryan was. He was delirious and couldn't fill out any paperwork or talk to the doctors so it was family night at the hospital. Ethan woke up and was wide awake, charming everyone there. He was thrilled to watch an Elmo video over and over and in an attempt to not scare him with the situation, we made it out to be an adventure, which it was. We were quite the scene, a 9 1/2 month pregnant woman, with a sleepy toddler and a delirious husband. The doctors were not sure who to treat first. We arrived home at 1a and all settled in for the night. Today Bryan is definitely better than last night but still touch and go and hasn't gotten out of bed all day. Let's hope the meds kick in by tomorrow or else it is back to the doctor. Not great timing huh, all I need is to go into labor while Bryan is laid up in bed. My mother arrives on Friday to rescue us:) Just another day in the life of the Phillips family!

Almost time for baby Phillips. I'm so excited for you and Bryan! Wow, Bryan was really sick. I wish I was there I could of beat him up even more then I usually do.

I should of known Ethan would be wide awake. How funny was that. The Triage Nurse probably thought Bry was normal and you were in labor when you walked in seeing that you are 9 months pregnant.

Love you guys.
