Flu Shots!

Caleb and Annie have been advised to that everyone who wants to hold the new baby has to have the flu shot for fear of RSV,   I guess they have had this illness in Annie's family, and not in ours as well.  Basically tiny babies have difficulty dealing with coming colds and such, so the shot is extra protection.  Here are Tony and Miranda showing off their shots.  I got mine at work, and SHeri got hers at the same time as Miranda and Tony.  Miranda has already held the baby.  Tony is heading that way in a couple weeks with Sheri and I.

Baby Asher Was Darn SIck

January was the month of sickness for Baby Asher.  He came down with the RSV stuff and had a miserable time.  He ended up at USF pediatric Hospital in Oakland from Sunday to Friday right after Stake Conference, second week in January.  Here are some hospital pictures.  At San Joaquin they had to drill into his heal for an IV because the couldn't get a vein.  They got him better however and now he is his old happy self.  Jeremy and Kayla spent most of the week out there, or were back and forth every day.  Sheri and I visited Sunday, and Sheri went back another time.

Weekend Report: Dominated by Cancer and then Hospital

This has been a different weekend.  It started Friday with me staying home for Fred Zepeda's funeral.  He passed away from caner, exactly a year after my sister passed away.  Last year Sheri and I traveled to Boise for her funeral.  This year I stayed home for Fred's funeral.  Friday also Sheri returned home from her trip taking Miranda to school.  I convinced her to come home a day early because of impending storm.  Saturday I went to the movie "A Monster Calls" which was about cancer.
Saturday we also had stake conference adult session, with Anna coming over to watch Tony.  We saw heather briefly at the conference, but she was taking off after to go to Fremont with friends who were to give her a ride the next day to the airport.
Sunday made a year since my sister's funeral.  She died of esophageal cancer.  Sunday was a continuation of stake conference.  I sang in the choir like usual.  It was very fun.  Conference was very good.  Weatherford T. Clayton of the seventy presided.  Dianna came over after conference, as did Jeremy and family.
 Jeremy came to our house with Baby Asher, and Sheri sent them to the hospital because he wasn't breathing very well.  Turns out he has RSV which has contributed to his having pneumonia.  Asher is about ten months old so right on the edge of the vulnerable age.  He is now getting oxygen and having his fluids monitored.
We went to visit, Oakland USF pediatric Hospital, and upon coming home, picked up the boys at Charity's.  My temporary crown fell out.  So Monday I was at the dentist instead of going to work.  Fortunately the new permanent crown was in, and I was able to complete this round of dental work, two root canals and one crown.
