Everyone has arrived back home safely. Michael, Patricia, Walker in Cypress, Trey, Rebecca, Haley, Jordan in Chicago. I think I've had enough of weddings for a long time, especially when sickness overtakes little ones who can't fend for themselves.

Jordan is perfectly fine now. No one seems to be able to figure out why her fever spiked so high. Blood count looked good, cultures were normal, chest x-rays normal (according to the radiologist). The only outward sign of any problem was a slightly red throat. I suppose the doctor was correct to order so many tests but it's an extreme trauma on little kids to do a blood draw and to collect urine. I can still hear her screaming as the nurses held her down to insert the hep lock. Not a good memory.

Oh, and we can't seem to stay out of hospitals. Ellie and I are off to Kelsey-Seybold in a few minutes for her eye surgery. If experience holds, we will be there all day.
