Lucas update....

Well, he started throwing up last night about 11:30.  So I stayed up with him til about 3 when he finally fell asleep.  Tom woke me up at 8:30 to say they were leaving for the doc's office.  Jake was still asleep so I stayed home with him.

Now Tom and Lucas are back.  His temp this am was 103.  He has pnuemonia and strep throat.  So now we need to get some antibiotics and keep pushing the fluids.  Doc said we should see his temp going down over the next three days or so and cough getting worse because he has alot of gunk in his lungs to get out...  Poor guy.  What a way to spend the start of his summer vacation.  

So we are going to be having a quiet day at home for the 4th this year.  Tom and Jake may do something to get out of the house.

That is about it from here....
