1. Gmama and Granddaddy came to visit. It is my mom's last spring break (she is retiring after this year) and we are thankful they came to spend it with us! They got in town on Tuesday afternoon and we cooked out that night, did some walking around Pier Park on Wednesday morning and Ashley's crew came down on Wednesday afternoon. We went to the park by our house and then to eat dinner that night. We all planned to go to the beach on Thursday, but unfortunately Caleb and I were both a little congested and Ashley caught a stomach bug. So our fun had to end early and my parents drove Ashley and her boys back to Enterprise. We are thankful they were able to come and happy to report everyone is doing better! WE LOVED HAVING YOU!! PLEASE COME BACK SOON!!
2. As most of you know, we had a big scare on Thursday. Twice while I was feeding Caleb he got a blank look on his face, his eyes rolled back in his head and he was shaking. We went to his pediatrician yesterday morning and she said, 'It sounds like he had two seizures.' She referred us to a pediatric neurologist at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola and we immediately packed our bags and left. She mentioned meningitis, infections and epilepsy. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR PRAYERS!! After a LONG DAY in the emergency room we learned that what he has is most likely Sandifer Syndrome, a condition often mistaken for seizures and caused by acid reflux. PRAISE THE LORD!! We got home after midnight last night and the remedy is - we're going to start giving him rice cereal and Zantac and he'll sleep with his head elevated. He was very well behaved. (Wes and I took turns with Caleb outside while the other waited with the nasty germs in the emergency room. We're thankful it was a pretty day!) Here is our happy baby at the hospital once we FINALLY were called back to a room.
3. After a hard day yesterday, we decided to show Caleb he lives at the beach!! It is BEAUTIFUL outside and we're very thankful to be here and not in Pensacola while they run tests on our baby!! Again- We are so thankful for your prayers!! A few pictures from today...

So glad all is well with Caleb. Those times seem to take years off your life don't they? I too am jealous that you guys live at the beach...I'd never get anything done (not that I do here on the farm either though). Take care!
I found your blog! I'm so sorry you had to go through such an ordeal with Caleb and relieved to know that he's okay. It was so wonderful to see you all last week. I hope we'll be back soon - E's baby shower maybe?
What a huge relief! I love the pictures...can we move in with y'all? Seeing Caleb on the beach makes me wish (for about 0.2 seconds) that we were bringing the boys with us next month! Oh well! Mommy and Daddy need a BREAK!! Love you! We can totally deal with a little reflux, huh?
We are riding the reflux train too..no seizures but just fussy feeding times. Don't be alarmed of the zantac doesn't work. We had to be bumped up to prevacid and it works much better. He is such a doll! Glad he is okay!
