Not What We Planned

We have been very much looking forward to David's first Christmas, but it did not turn out at all like we had planned.
Thursday Angie began feeling bad and running fever. By Friday she was feeling a little sick, but better. We went ahead with our plans and went to church for Christmas Eve services. By the time we came home Angie was running fever again and was in bed by 8:30. David awoke Christmas morning at 4:30. We could not get him back down, Angie was still running fever. We decided to have our family Christmas at 5:00, no one was sleeping anyway. By 6:30 Angie and David were back in bed asleep. Greg was cancelling our plans of being with his family by 8:00. At 11:30 David began running fever and so Angie called her family and also cancelled the plans to travel to see them.
So, for David's first Christmas it did not seem much like Christmas, except that at least the 3 of us were together and we did have about an hour of a "traditional Christmas morning."

Merry Christmas

Because we were planning on being out of town for a few days we were not at all prepared to be at home and so we had nothing to eat. Greg's mom went out of her way to make us two meals before she and Greg's Dad left to go out of town, thanks Mimi and Ed. As of now, well, Greg is at the pediatrician with David. Angie is still running fever... not at all what we had planned for David's first Christmas. -

Update - Greg just returned home with David - it is confirmed he has the flu which means Angie does t00. What a first Christmas for David.
