The Many Adventures of Shea & Wes: Shea and Wes's 2nd Birthday Party

Shea and Wes's second birthday party invitation!

We celebrated Shea and Wes's 2nd birthday party on September 29th, 2012. We had both sides of our families here at the same time so it was a very full house. It started off great but quickly took a different turn. Shea had been sick the week before with a cold that she then shared with the rest of the family. Wes was the last one to get sick, but was also the one hit the hardest. After nap Wes woke up with a fever (Right before his party) and I gave him some Tylenol. He wanted to just hang out on my lap during the party. We did not have cake, he didn't open his presents (fortunately dad did for him), and didn't even get to sing happy birthday. After everyone left, except Aunt Laura, Aunt Michelle and their kids, Rob decided to give Shea a bath with Cousins Chloe and Sadie helping. As Wes was sitting on my lap he ended up having a febrile seizure - and to say the least it was the scariest thing I have ever experienced. I handed him over to Rob and called 911 and Wes, Rob, and I rode in the ambulance as Shea stayed behind with Aunt Laura and Aunt Michelle. Once at the hospital they did a chest x-ray to make sure his lungs were clear and gave him an IV to keep his temperature down. After that we brought him home and he was better off an on through the week (he also had 3 more doctors office visits and one more visit to the ER). I don't think Shea wanted to be left out so she also puked at her birthday party. Their actual birthday had them feeling pretty good and we enjoyed the day as a family. Everybody is much better now.
