Half the night was good - he slept until about 3am, but then he threw up and ever since then won't drink and gags a lot. He's very irritable and the nurse thinks maybe he's going through Ativan withdrawl...his fever is gone, so that is a huge blessing. They just took more blood, so we should confirm there is no infection today I hope. I just wish he was comfortable! He stopped crying for a few minutes to enjoy the books my bought yesterday. The "Ride Along with Thomas" book has lots of buttons that make some fantastic (in his opinion) train sounds. Even the Thomas theme song, which we are hoping to hear all day :) I'm sure our roommates don't appreciate the book nearly as much as Briggs does, but if it stops him crying, we don't care!! We're about to head out to Merritt's birthday celebration at school. Her birthday isn't until Saturday, but tomorrow is the last day of school. She will be excited to see both mommy and daddy at the same time for the first time in weeks.

Briggs looks great. Who is that holding him? Billie has had better days. Just kidding. It is so great to see your little boy with a smile on his face. I love you all so much.
