well... here in sunny phoenix

we are not enjoying ourselves as much as we had hoped. I had hoped to be occupied for the first few days with family, which we did get to do some of... today we had hoped to get going on our first of two excursions. Little stuff had other plans, hence here I am writing not enjoying the organ pipe state park sunset. The little guy has been to two hospitals in less then 12 hours, he stopped being able keep water down last night, spent the night in barren desert er to be released with shots, when I finally got ahold of johns hopkins @ 5am our time they said to take him immedaitely to childrens of phoenix, where they hooked him up to a saline and glucose drip. now 12 hours later we are contemplating returning because his fever is spiking at 103.7. need I admit, I'm very doped up on my anti anxiety meds... i need a vacation;)

well there are some positives... my little man and I hung out together today, I drove around phoenix and didn't get lost. The catci are blooming and there are families of quails, they look just like families of ducks... only they scoot across the desert not water. Then there are 5 foot rattlers... so the neighbors say, I'm not taking my changes on finding one. Tomorrow my little man and I may attempt to find a used bookstore or two, little guy will either be back at the hospital or in bed/couch recouperating.
