Merry Christmas! In true 2020 fashion the day started out WILD!
Last night Colt was tired and slower than usual. About 8, I found him laying down. He just went to bed (in our room-you know tradition!). No goodnight no excitement of Christmas Eve traditions. Just in bed. I can’t say I wasn’t worried. I asked him a million times if he was ok and he just complained of a tummy ache and said everything else was fine and he was tired. I
took his temp all night long. The morning came and he and Chase were excited to get up and going. After Santa gifts were opened, he started fading. His belly hurt and he was just laying on the floor. I hesitantly took his temp and it was 99.9. I took it about 60 more times and got a ton of different readings but he def wasn’t himself and he was warm.
So the panic sent in.
Everyone was suppose to be at our house about 1 1/2 hours later. We knew we had to cancel. After some calls, looking around and help from Becky, we found a place in the Med center who could test him with a PCR test and we could get the test back in an hour. They were so sweet and told us to get there before 8. We jumped in the car and we’re there in 22 minutes. Thank goodness no one was on the road! I decided to be tested too. For one, to help Colton’s nerves and two for extra safety. We went right in, we were tested. Shortly after, a DR came in, asked a couple questions and left. As we were leaving, they ran down the hall after us and tested Colts temp. 98.8.
About 45 minutes later we got a phone call that we were both negative. Yes!!!!!!!
We called everyone and powered on with plans, just a little later than planned. Unfortunately, the push back in time didn’t allow Gaga to be with us. But, Allen Beck and Liam came over and dad went and picked up mom and she was with us for Christmas morning! It made everything worth it. Having her with us was the best gift ever!!!! She did well. We ate together and we all opened gifts. Mom was exhausted by the end. She was quiet the whole morning but you could see in her eyes she was happy. Everyone left here and we packed up and headed to Gaga’s. We had a nice relaxing time opening gifts, watching the kids play and shoot BB guns and eating the most delicious dinner.
By the time we got home around 8pm we were EXHAUSTED!
It started out crazy but in the end, we were with our family and had the most special day.

The empty seat at the dinner table was a painful reminder of how missed you are. I know PawPaw would have loved to be with us watching his grandkids open their Red Rider BB guns. Bought by Gaga, from him to them. I know he was up there, looking down, smiling that big smile of his nodding his head in approval.
